Nadia Nakai admitted that she did this to look good on Instagram. "This is just so I look good on Instagram, on stage, and in photoshoots. It's not that serious; it's definitely a vain procedure. The nurse brought me back and stayed with me for four days to make sure I'm fine, even feeding me."

Vuyokazi Nciweni

The mother of two was determined to get her body back and restore her self-confidence. The former Izingane Zesthemu star underwent gastric sleeve surgery as part of her weight loss regimen.

“I think I also lack self-discipline when it comes to the sort of food I eat. Getting this gastric sleeve will help me a lot with my lifestyle. Also, I'm doing this for my children because I want to live longer for them. After I gave birth to my daughter, I have not been eating well.”

Shamiso Mosaka

Fans were very confused when TV presenter Shamiso Mosaka decided to go under the knife. Mosaka had her BBL at Mono Clinic in Turkey, and she announced this on her Instagram stories:

“I came to a foreign country by myself to have a surgery that is not child’s play. A BBL is not a joke, please understand me when I say this, it’s not a joke,” she said on her Instagram story.
"If you saw me a couple of days ago, I didn’t even look like myself; my face was puffy and swollen. This surgery is not a joke. I’m gonna go live when I get home and make time to answer all your questions.”
