Mihlali Ndamase, the beauty influencer and Vlogger, recently faced a ferocious backlash from South Africans after uploading a heartfelt open letter on her YouTube channel.
In this letter, she elaborated on the toxic experiences she endured while dating Leeroy Sidambe. Despite baring her soul, Mzansi was unimpressed and downright unsympathetic.
The root of the issue traces back to the origins of Mihlali’s romance with Leeroy, who was still legally wed to Mary Jane Sidambe. Mihlali found herself at the centre of controversy, accused of snatching another woman’s man.

However, she denied these allegations, revealing that Leeroy and Mary Jane were already on the road to divorce.
Instead of empathy, Mihlali Ndamase encountered a torrent of criticism on social media. People reminded her of how she resolutely remained with Leeroy despite public disapproval.
Criticism intensified with resurfaced photos portraying Mihlali mimicking Mary Jane’s lifestyle, consequently tarnishing her reputation even further.
While Mihlali hoped for understanding and support, the overwhelming rejection from the South African audience was loud and clear: an apology to Leeroy’s estranged wife, Mary Jane, is necessary for any semblance of public sympathy.
Mzansi remains steadfast in demanding accountability rather than empty confessions of victimhood.
Mihlali you did ALL this and for what reward in the end?? Karma is a bitch and her new name might be Mary Jane. Helping that man break up his home only to help him set up breaking your leg. How life comes at you fast pic.twitter.com/eXdaqlGbjg

LeeRoy should apologize to Mary Jane. We've all been cheated on, and we didn't go around demanding apologies from strangers.

Mary Jane is a smart estranged wife…she probably said "I will not file for divorce to give Mihlali that satisfaction, Ill let my dangerous prayers do the work and watch their love story crumble… ,"😎
Karma does not discriminate, everyone gets it at some point! 😁#Mihlali pic.twitter.com/maslvSOrON
