Taking to X (Twitter), Liema’s team made it clear they were not amused. In a strongly worded statement, they accused Anele of turning Liema’s name into a cheap punchline. The post was captioned:

“Reducing someone’s name to a punchline isn’t humour, it’s disrespect. Names carry identity, history and dignity. They are not props for cheap laughs. When you have influence, your words carry weight. They shape conversations and set the tone for how others think it’s okay to behave. That responsibility should never be taken lightly. It’s genuinely disappointing to see a public figure choose mockery over maturity. We owe the next generation better examples than this.”

@immortalz24 defended:

“Oksalayo. What are you gonna do about it? Nothing! Anele Mdoda is the best radio presenter in the world, and she is beautiful! Go to the nearest police station. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

@Lelo_Sss said:

“It’s okay to come for someone who is dragging you, but mocking Liema, who has done nothing to you, is so low. I’m very disappointed…with Oyinene’s profile and all.”

@rev_magobe suggested:

“We'd better start reporting her to her supervisor. We need an apology from her. This lady really hurt me, and I had nothing but respect for her until now.”

@AliciaBBstan agreed:

"Especially when she’s old enough to know better, yet busy criticising a 24-year-old who has done nothing to anyone. Claiming Liema doesn’t deserve a second chance, while Miss SA itself allows contestants to return multiple times, is not just inconsistent, it’s diabolical."
