Reality TV Star Vuyokazi Nguqu addressed her thousands of fans and people who know her regarding how she wants them to treat her.
Nguqu made a TiKTok video in which she explains her frustrations of being treated like a kid, with fans seeming unable to separate her character on TV from her real persona.
In the trending video, speaking in Xhosa, she said: "First of all, I cannot change my voice. I was born like this."
She said the above words, listing them as the number one thing she wanted to address.
Continuing, Nguqu emphasised: "respect me, I will respect you." She talked about respect right before urging fans to stop asking her about yogurt when they meet her in public places such as malls.
She went on to ask viewers to do a reality check, telling them to ask, "If we had somebody like Vovo [herself] at home, would I treat her like this?"
Addressing those who have accused her of being rude, she said: "sit down with me. Leave behind the reality TV things and you will see that I'm not rude."
Nguqu lives with dwarfism. She and others living with the condition have embraced it and some say it has its advantages.

"You are not going to gaslight and emotionally blackmail us. Usile wena and urwada unjalo [You are rude and violent]. You can't use your short stature as a weapon to claim that you are being abused and disrespected."
@Philani defended viewers of the show, stating:
"If you don't want us joking about what we see on TV, simply don't be on our screens. Anybody that plays on TV knows that viewers comment on and ask about what they watch on TV. These people actually enjoy that because it's shows that we follow and like them."
