Mpho Wabadimo is at the centre of fresh controversy after a self-filmed video reignited long-standing bleaching rumours among South African fans.

The on-screen caption "Keng ka Mpho maara?" paired with a crying-laughing emoji kept the tone playful throughout. However, it was not the humour that caught Mzansi's attention.
