A TikTok user had many nodding in agreement when she shared that she had similar facial features to Johannesburg influencer Grace Mondlana. Her striking resemblance even led to an online commentator asking the woman if she had buried her ex, a topic closely related to Grace.

The doppelgänger, Daisy Mposo, took to her TikTok account on 8 July, 2025 to share what an app user allegedly said to her, and she captioned the post, saying:

"Do I really look like her? I'm not being mean or rude, or violating her privacy. This is for comedy purposes only."

What happened to Grace Mondlana's ex-boyfriend?

In early July, 2025, Grace hogged headlines and came under fire for her unusual behaviour following the death of her ex-boyfriend, Sipho Zulu. The data scientist died in a horrific car accident on 29 June, 2025. The pair dated for five years before ending their relationship at the beginning of 2025. Both had moved on to new relationships.

Grace had a hand in Sipho's funeral and claimed to have paid for the entire event, with her new partner helping her to drive to and from the funeral. It was also alleged that Grace had control over Sipho's social media accounts and phone, which she allegedly took while he was at the hospital.
