• Despite the growing backlash, she has not addressed the allegations and continues posting as usual

Renowned broadcaster Anele Mdoda’s previous tweets on corruption have resurfaced amid reports that her husband, Bonelela 'Buzza' Mgudlwa, is involved in the R14M COVID-19 PPE scandal.

On Thursday, 2 April 2026, Mdoda’s husband and his business partner, Katleho Monkonyane, who is Nomvula Monkonyane's daughter, topped social media trends after they were allegedly ordered to repay R14 million.

This was after the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) found that Tark Group Pty Ltd had illegally received two contracts from the Mpumalanga Department of Health to provide COVID-19 PPE.

As South Africans waited for Anele Mdoda to break her silence regarding the scandal, she went about her business as usual on X (Twitter). Now, social media users are resurfacing the 947 radio host’s tweets on corruption, and some are raising eyebrows.

Anele Mdoda’s old tweets resurface amid scandal

On Thursday, X user @destinyzee shared a screenshot of a tweet in which Anele Mdoda was asking about PPE companies. Anele’s post from 2 August 2020 was captioned:

“What credentials are we looking for in a PPE company? No affiliation to anyone in the department. How long should a company have been operational? I ask because there were very few PPE companies this time last year, so what should be above board? Conflict of interest aside.”

Netizens weighed in on the posts on X, with several netizens calling out Anele Mdoda for her tweets seemingly justifying corruption.

Here are some of the comments:

@esomolekae said:

“Thievery justification doesn't make sense 😕”

@BlackView_ZA laughed:

“Already singing before the choir master gave the go-ahead. 😂”

@Lexproctor1997 alleged:

“The company that got the PPE tender was registered in 2019 and got the tender in 2020, with no experience whatsoever in supplying these things. The question here was on behalf of the HUSBAND. She must've foreseen this. But since it's a civil matter, they have the R14m.”

@nuttyy remarked:

“It aged terribly for the author, but well for us.”
