Johannesburg – Khanyi Mbau’s long-awaited big reveal of her new face after undergoing controversial plastic surgery is creating quite the buzz – but not in the way you might expect. The media personality, known for her dramatic transformations and unapologetic lifestyle, has been stepping out in public with her face covered by masks or veils, sparking intense speculation among fans and critics alike.
Khany Mbau’s face after the surgery, still wounded
The latest mystery surrounding Khanyi’s new look comes after her boyfriend, Kudzai Mushonga, posted a series of pictures on Instagram in which he can be seen covering her face, leaving fans even more curious than ever.
Kudzai, who is based in Dubai, took to social media to explain why he continues to hide Khanyi’s face, despite the growing anticipation around her post-surgery appearance. In a post on his Instagram timeline, Kudzai assured fans that the face reveal was part of a carefully planned moment. He wrote: “Mrs K will reveal her face soon. I post covering her face so I don’t spoil her reveal plan.”
For many, this explanation only deepened the intrigue. After all, Khanyi Mbau has always been a bold figure in South Africa’s entertainment scene, known for pushing boundaries, whether it’s through her plastic surgery procedures or her unapologetically glamorous lifestyle.
The ongoing mystery has led to widespread speculation among fans, with some suggesting that the reason Khanyi Mbau has not unveiled her new face is because the results were less than desirable. Social media users have been quick to joke about the situation, suggesting that Khanyi’s face might have been “botched” or that she might resemble a Michael Jackson-like transformation.
One user, @purity_kk3, posted a comment that reads: “You keep hiding her face, is it that messed up?” while another user, @macbethbennet, quipped: “Khanyi will only be recognised by fingerprints at home affairs and banks.”
Even more playful comments have compared the situation to pop legend Michael Jackson, who underwent numerous surgeries throughout his life that significantly altered his appearance. @sibalukhulu_omkhulu cheekily wrote: “When are we seeing our own Michael Jackson?”
The memes and humorous reactions haven’t stopped, with fans having a field day imagining what Khanyi’s new face could look like – and whether it matches her previous expectations.
