MaKhumalo was dragged following the episode that aired Thursday night. Peeps noted that her house does not compare to other cast mates' houses that exudes elegance and a lavish lifestyle. Fans were also not impressed when she arrived at the event she had organised with a Toyota vehicle, while others showed up in high-end luxurious cars.

Responding to the negative comments, MaKhumalo said she will not live a fake lifestyle to impress the viewers. Speaking to Drum Magazine, Thobile said it would also be misleading if she has a new house on the show when everyone knows that she is from Umzumbe. She said:

"If you know MaKhumalo then you'd know that she is someone from the rural areas. So, it was going to be misleading to find MaKhumalo, watching her for the first time on a new show, now you find her at a new house and not in Umzumbe."

Makhumalo also added that the criticism from the fans did not bother her because she knows where she came from and the accomplishments she has been able to achieve despite her rural background.

"It is one thing that I pride myself with to be someone who comes from 'deep rural' but made it to the urban areas and was able to mingle with people who are assumed to be from very high standards," she stated.

According to ZAlebs, Thobile recently moved to Durban due to work commitments. The publication further notes that producers of the show never worried whether or not MaKhumalo would fit in as they wanted someone who could live a rural and urban lifestyle simultaneously.

"The producers of the show wanted that aspect of a women from the rural areas who is able to live both the life of the urban as well as that of the rural areas", she said.
