Popular musician Ngizwe Mchunu surprised South Africans this week when he body-shamed radio personality Sol Phenduka on Podcast and Chill.
Mchunu's comments come after he was denied entry into Kwa Mai-Mai this past weekend following his homophobic comments.
Phenduka, who previously trended when he lost his job at Kaya FM, interviewed Mchunu on his YouTube channel on Thursday, 9 October 2025.
Social media user @ThisIsColbert shared a snippet on his X account of Ngizwe Mchunu body-shaming Phenduka on the podcast on Thursday, 9 October 2025.

@NjekaModise commented:
"Eish, I didn't like that 'name' also, weight is a sensitive topic, but it depends on the individual. Others might take it as motivation to hit the gym harder and eat healthier. Others might discourage them. Let's be kind 🙏🏿."

"That’s an incentive for him to exercise, how is being called out fat 'body shaming'?"
@Ngizokuqondisa replied:
