The simmering fallout between Anele Mdoda and her estranged sister Zamalisa has taken a sharp new turn, this time pulling Anele's husband, Bonelela "Buzza" James Mgudlwa, into the crossfire, and Mzansi is not holding back its reaction.

On Saturday, 14 November 2026, Zamalisa brought Buzza directly into her public offensive against the family. She dug up an April 2026 post originally published by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) about an alleged multi-million-rand PPE scandal linked to Buzza, sharing it as part of a fresh broadside against the couple on X.

"@BonelelaM, please pay my cousin the money you owe her for the alcohol she supplied for your wedding event. You married @Anele for her money. Leave her family out of it," Zamalisa wrote.

The post is the latest in a sustained string of public attacks Zamalisa has launched against her sister since Anele's Netflix wedding special, Stars and Vows, premiered. In earlier posts, she threatened to expose private family matters and accused Anele of airing their decades-long estrangement in public.

"I love that we are all on the same page that Anele is Monied!!! Which makes the jealousy valid."

"The slip is showing. It's Anele's success and wealth that's the cause of your deep-rooted envy and jealousy. Get help. Ask your dad for money for therapy. Then go work hard. You might just get a life worth living and enjoying without public meltdowns or spectacle."

SindiswaMathe added:

"I'd also be so miserable if I missed such a perfect wedding. Anele is loved, and we witnessed it through our screens. You can't even watch the full episodes because of your envy."

Viewers who watched Stars and Vows also pushed back on the unpaid alcohol bill claim, pointing out that the wedding special showed Anele's father personally overseeing the alcohol arrangements. Several commenters also urged Zamalisa to leave the family drama behind and move forward with her life.
