Gauteng’s weather tweet involving Khanyi Mbau causes Twitter frenzy
In a spicy tweet, the Gauteng Weather Twitter sent out a warning of the heatwave hitting the region saying that people with fair skin, compromised immune systems and Khanyi Mbau need to stay out of the sun.
It seems that the official Gauteng weather Twitter account was in a sandy mood when they dragged actress Khanyi Mbau during a heatwave announcement.

Tweeps were not feeling the unnecessary shade thrown and the local star with some saying that the account manager was being a cyberbully and saying that it was being a troll.
Was it necessary, really??? You think its ok to single Khanyi out?? Replace this post with appropriate one. This is subtle bullying at its best. Shocked

Speaking to TsishaLIVE about the shady tweet, Mbau said she was unbothered by the tweet and that as a public figure she is bound to evoke emotion out of people.
“No! I have no issue with the tweet or how people may feel about me. I am a public figure, I am bound to evoke emotion in many.”
