@TheGeopol said:

"We’re getting sick of this. Where are the young presenters? We constantly see the same old faces recycled. We pay for this lotto, the least they can do is to create genuine employment."

@Radebe_merci shared:

"Same face on all TV channels. Anele Mdoda, give other kids a chance. On the radio, it’s you, on TV, it’s you, everywhere it’s you. We will never grow as a country while we have gatekeepers like you and Somizi. SA media needs fresh voices, not the same monopoly year after year."

@Lepoipoitr exclaimed:

"Anele, you're rich already, we get that!! But give other children a chance, you're eating every piece of the pie!"

@MxolisButhelezi was up in arms:

"There are thousands of young people who must get this opportunity. She’s made her money and continues to do well; good for her. Time of new faces."

However, some people defended Anele, saying her face is necessary for SA television.

TheOnly_VK said Anele earned her place among the big leagues:

"Put in the hours, and you'll get there too. Anele was once at Tuks FM, and no one cared; brands were going for abo Basetsana at the time. There's no shortcut to the top; the cracks will show. She's earned her stripes. I would advise that you build your brand, and if you deserve the top spot, you'll get it."
