Yoh, Khanyi Mbau will never find peace and solace from social media trolls regarding her new face! The media personality recently went viral after sharing a new picture, which received a lot of criticism.

On Friday, 29 August 2025, an online user @kuanele_ reposted the latest photo of the Netflix's Young, Famous and African star and mistakenly identified her as the Real Housewives of Durban cast member, Sorisha Naidoo.

Mbau has been getting major backlash since the day she announced on social media that she is getting her face done. However, the media personality isn't the only one who has been bashed for having some elite cosmetic surgery done; Sorisha Naidoo, who is her doppelganger, was also bashed for having her skin bleached back when she was still an actress.
