However, Briefly News has connected the dots about her age as she turned a year older.

The 41-year-old star was born on 19 May 1984 in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Several celebrities quickly flood their social media feeds with warm birthday wishes. Reality TV star Mantsoe Tsatsi posted:

“A birthday girl who always makes sure we all have fun on her day.”

Rose Sezani-Mungofa posted:

“Happy Birthday @zintathu. To laughter, growth, love and an abundance of joy.”

Celebrated presenter, voice artist and producer Rozanne McKenzie shared a photo with Anele Mdoda on her timeline and captioned it:

“Happy birthday, my friend.”

Anele Mdoda’s friend and Kaya 959 host Sizwe Dhlomo took to Twitter formerly X to celebrate her birthday. The celebrated radio host posted:

“Happy Birthday @Anele.”

Fans were puzzled to learn that Anele Mdoda was 41, given her youthful looks.

Others noted that age was just a number for the one-year-old media personality since life begins at ‘40.’

She joins a host of celebrities, like Thembi Seete and actress Connie Ferguson, who have made headlines with their youthful looks.

She joins a host of South African celebrities who recently celebrated their birthday, including Sho Madjozi.

Another headline‑grabbing party on the cards?

However, little is known about whether Anele Mdoda will throw another star-studded birthday party.

In recent years, she has celebrated her birthdays with star-studded parties, which have fast become the norm.

Last year, she had a birthday blast which was capped with fun and priceless moments.

She seemingly did so as she wowed many after her dancing videos flooded online from her 40th birthday celebrations.
