Anele Mdoda has officially unlocked her X account and returned to many people's timelines following a wave of intense public backlash on the platform.
The celebrated radio personality locked her profile earlier in April 2026 after her husband, businessman Bonelela "Buzza" Mgudlwa, was implicated in a high-profile Special Tribunal ruling concerning R14 million in irregular COVID-19 PPE contracts.
The Special Tribunal recently ruled that two COVID-19 PPE contracts, linked to a company co-owned by Mgudlwa, were invalid and unlawful, ordering him to repay the profits personally.
The public outcry was swift, with many X users targeting Anele for her husband's alleged business dealings. Many slammed the renowned broadcaster's cryptic "jokes," arguing that her attempt to use humour to deflect from the scandal was both insensitive and poorly timed.

The backlash intensified as critics dug up her previous posts about accountability and government transparency, labelling her current behaviour as hypocritical.
In response to the backlash, Anele temporarily locked her profile, restricting her page and posts to only those who follow her, to avoid the malicious commentary.
Despite her husband's public statement that his apparent shady business dealings occurred years before their marriage, with even her friend Sizwe Dhlomo defending her, the court of public opinion remained unconvinced.
For many, her return to social media without directly addressing the situation with a formal statement felt like an attempt to "tweet through the drama," leading to more calls for accountability rather than the lighthearted banter she is known for.
