Kefilwe Mabote is one of the most lauded Instagram baddies and influencers in the country. She, along with friend Sarah Langa, fronts the group of the most elite and sought-after influencers outside of the “youth” category which is fronted by the likes of Mihlali Ndamase.
While allegations might suggest that her influence is earned from her high profile speculated relationships with the likes of high profile businessman and controversial personality, Edwin Sodi. Mabote does boast a number of businesses that she runs outside of being an influencer and an author, which she credits for her success.

As such, Kefilwe needed a dress for the weekend wedding spectacular.
Seeing as she got a custom-made by Gert-Johan Coetzee, Mabote took to her stories to share her zebra-print gown with a plunging neckline and train detail on her stories and Instagram.

Safe to say, while Instagrammers were complimentary over the fact. It only took for the dress in question to be shared on Twitter for polairising opinions to start rearing their heads. A fact, which earned Kefilwe the nickname of Kefi, as tweeps debated the merits of whether her dress was appropriate to wear. More so, when compared to the dress that Nana wore for her special day.

On the one hand, there were those that believed that Kefi intended on upstaging the bride at how own wedding. More so given that the dress she wore had a train, which naysayers suggest should only be worn by the bride.
Am I the only person who wasn’t impressed with Kefi’s outfit? To me she was Ohk and didn’t even upstage the bride…y’all making me question my taste.

However, supporters of Kefi and her gown, have asserted that Kefi is an influencer best known for turning looks. Therefore, to invite her to your special day and have yourself as the bride wear a dress which is best dressed as mmmhhh, you only have yourself to blame if you are upstaged.
The bride tried shame. 😂

This is as she asserted that she was happy that every single one of her guests had turned looks for her celebration and was grateful to all attendees, which presumably also includes Mabote.
