Not everyone agreed on which frame told the better story, however. Some fans felt the before-and-after images may have been accidentally swapped, while others simply celebrated Ngqula in both versions of herself. Below is a selection of the reactions:

Nonz_nonie said:

"The girls are at work. 👏🔥 It's so beautiful to see."

Asemahle_n shared:

"Both are so gorgeous to me. ❤️‍🔥🔥🥰"

SabeloDivinity offered a more nuanced take:

"Both gorgeous. F2 is pretty, fit and healthy in my eyes. But there are different types of healthy from different types of people's bodies. Only a person can be able to tell you when they're at their healthiest. What we perceive as skinny, fit or healthy might not be."

Pinkdoll_love asked:

"Why did she gain? She looked good in frame 1 though"
