Ohk so being a yellow bone is like a must to become proper BAE in South Africa apparently. It’s crazy to see what lengths people would go to just to appear lighter or have lighter skin and be able to claim the title of being a yellow bone.
Whoever decided to come out and claim that darker-skinned women are not beautiful has really ruined society. This is not only amongst the black society.
Mshoza
The biggest skin bleaching Faux Pas in South Africa was in 2011, when former kwaito star Mshoza, real name Nomasonto Mnisi, announced that she had begun skin bleaching treatments.
Mshoza admitted to being unhappy with that fact that she has darker skin and thought she could be similar to Micheal Jackson. Her unhappiness leads her to lighten her skin with a series of pills and cream treatments.
Kelly Khumalo
If she’s not in the papers enough, Kelly Khumalo has also made headlines for apparently bleaching her skin and becoming a few shades lighter than her normal complexion.
It is said that Kelly has been using a cream called Carolight to become a few shades lighter for lord knows what. Drum magazine reported that Kelly and Her sister, Zandi, were allegedly buying the lightening lotion from street vendors.
Sorisha Naidoo
One then sits back and asks themselves, what are these celebrities trying to teach the kids that look up to them?
That one should not be comfortable in their own skin and should look to getting a lighter complexion to be able to flourish in the industry?
Khanyi Mbau
“According to the University of Cape Town study, about 30% of black South African women are regular skin bleachers. In Nigeria, an estimated 77% of the female population use skin lighteners not with standing the fact that medical research has found that skin bleaching damages the skin, causing thinning, skin sensitivity and red blotches.” –Times Live.
Is skin bleaching really the only solution to making women feel beautiful and comfortable in their own skins? So which side of the line do you stand? Are for skin bleaching or against it?
