Mzansi Weighs In On Hulisani’s Weight Gain

 

947 Radio host Hulisani Ravele is once again under the spotlight after talking about her weight gain on her talk show. The former child star shared a snippet form a BBC Lifestyle show on social media, with a caption explaining that she had gained 10kg due to lockdown restrictions. Regardless of the sound explanation, responses from social media users referenced the radio host’s former lover Psyfo, who now goes by Sidwell Ngwenya, as the reason she put on weight. Ravele and Ngwenya’s 10-year relationship came to an amicable end in late 2017. It came as a shock when a mere two years later Ngwenya announced his nuptials to then fiancé Aamirah.

Though Huli has emphasised that she has moved on and has no regrets about dating Ngwenya, it seems Mzansi is desperately holding on to the link between the two. Every time either of them share news on social media, the other trends. Hulisani is not the only former YoTv presenter whose weight has triggered public curiosity, 5FM radio host Karabo Ntshweng recently called out those speculating that she is pregnant, explaining that her weigh gain is a result of medical treatment she is currently undergoing.
