• Miss South Africa 2023 Top 5 finalist Homba Mazaleni's TikTok account was hacked after celebrating sister Qhawekazi Mazaleni's recent win

She tirelessly dedicated several TikTok posts to her baby sibling. Unfortunately, she lost her account to hackers, but that didn't stop her from continuing to celebrate the beauty queen.

"Don't you worry, I will make sure to get every single follower back, all 120 000. The God that I serve is so big and powerful that the 120 000 followers that I've got will be multiplied.

"So yes, I will continue to shout Qhawe's name until kingdom come. She deserves a sister who is going to scream her name. Why? Because she is that brilliant, and I will not stop, no matter what anyone does. Why? Because she deserves to be celebrated."

The biokineticist vowed to continue "aggressively celebrating" Qhawe and asked the public to support her new account.

A supportive @angelazunguza told Homba:

"I wasn’t following you before, but I definitely am now."

@n._omaa shared their speculations:

"I bet the person who hacked you is the worst sibling towards his/her siblings because why would you do this to a person who celebrates their sister?"

@aseza_6, who saw that Homba's original account was nowhere to be found on the popular social media platform, stated to the beauty:

"And we found you again! They are so evil, oh, my goodness. Do not stop celebrating her. It’s beautiful to watch."
