Juanita Kumalo, founder of Trove Wellness, spoke to Briefly News journalist Jessica Gcaba, about which factors trigger this condition and push people to have surgeries.

"This is a significant topic," Junaita shared, adding that one's mental health often gets triggered. "This is a mental health problem that goes way beyond what an average person perceives it to be."

Khumalo said people's opinions and perceptions often "trigger" this condition, pushing the person to go under the knife.

This is not in any way stating that Khanyi has a condition called body dysmorphia.

What you need to know about Khanyi Mbau

Khanyi Mbau, born on 15 October 1985 in Soweto, Johannesburg, is a well-known South African actress, singer, media personality, and socialite. She became a household name in 2005 when she replaced Lindiwe Chibi as Doobsie on Muvhango (SABC 2).

Her personal life has been as eventful as her career. 2006, Khanyi married Mandla Mthembu, a former Robben Island inmate and multi-millionaire. Their relationship began in 2005 when Mandla was 50 and Khanyi was 20. The marriage faced numerous challenges, including accusations of infidelity and financial troubles that emerged after a public altercation at the South African Music Awards in 2007.

The couple briefly separated but reconciled later that year. By 2008, reports of financial issues, including unpaid luxury cars and a warrant for Mandla's arrest over child maintenance, overshadowed their marriage. They eventually parted ways in 2009.

After the separation, Khanyi briefly dated construction mogul Theunis Crous in late 2009, who bought her a BMW Z4, only to take it back when the relationship ended in 2010. In 2014, she began a long-term relationship with Tebogo Lerole despite ongoing rumours about the authenticity of their connection.
