Thembisa Nxumalo Seemingly Responds to Anele Mdoda’s Family Revelations With Cryptic ‘Lies’ Video

South African entertainment personality Thembisa Nxumalo has seemingly added another twist to the ongoing family drama involving her younger sister, popular radio presenter Anele Mdoda, after sharing a cryptic social media post that has sparked widespread speculation.

The development comes shortly after Anele opened up about the strained relationship between herself and her sisters in her new Netflix wedding reality series, Stars & Vows: Anele & Buzza.

The four-part series premiered on Friday, 13 November 2026, giving viewers a glimpse into the couple’s wedding celebrations, but it also revealed some painful details about the family tensions surrounding the occasion.

In one of the episodes, Anele reportedly opened up to her bridesmaids about the long-standing disagreement between herself and her sisters. She revealed that they had been separated for decades, suggesting that the family conflict had lasted for almost 30 years.

According to Anele, the relationship between the siblings had reached a point where there was little love left between them.

She reportedly told her bridesmaids that having her sisters present at her wedding was not important because of the strained relationship. However, she also indicated that reconciliation could still happen in the future.

Her revelations have attracted considerable attention, particularly because many viewers were curious about the absence of her sisters during such an important moment in her life.

Anele married Prince Bonelela “Buzza James” Mgudlwa in 2025, but her sisters Thembisa Nxumalo, Unathi and Zamalisa were reportedly not present at the wedding.

However, it appears that the latest developments may have reopened conversations about the family dispute.

Just hours after the Netflix series premiered, Thembisa shared a video on her Instagram Stories featuring controversial commentator Ngizwe Mchunu.

In the video, Mchunu could be heard repeatedly saying: “Oh, lies, lies, lies, and everywhere lies.”

Although Thembisa did not mention Anele by name or directly explain the meaning behind the post, the timing immediately caught the attention of social media users.

Some have interpreted the video as a possible response to Anele’s account of the family situation, while others believe it could be unrelated.

The latest development follows another controversy involving the sisters. Days earlier, Zamalisa reportedly accused Anele of using her 947 radio platform to discuss private family matters. She also threatened to reveal additional details about their disagreement.

Anele subsequently blocked Zamalisa on X, adding another layer to the already complicated situation.

For now, neither Anele nor Thembisa has confirmed whether the cryptic Instagram video was directed at the Netflix revelations.
