Fans flooded social media with mixed opinions after a clip of Nonku undergoing the procedure began circulating online.
While some praised her honesty and confidence, others questioned the growing pressure on celebrities to maintain a youthful appearance.
“It looks sore,” commented one X user.
“ I cannot finish watching this video. I can’t stand the pain,” added another.
Looking forward to the experience sometime in the future, another user said “I can’t wait to turn this age so I can do these things”.
“Women go through a lot to look beautiful,” observed one more.
Recent reports noted that the procedure, believed to be a non-surgical anti-ageing treatment, reportedly cost thousands of rands and involved advanced skin-tightening technology.
One group of social media users applauded Nonku for being transparent about cosmetic work in an industry where many celebrities avoid discussing enhancements publicly. Others felt the results made her look “unrecognisable”, reigniting debates around beauty standards and cosmetic procedures among public figures.

Nonku’s openness about cosmetic surgery
Nonku has never hidden her journey with cosmetic procedures. Over the years, she has openly discussed getting Botox, fillers and liposuction as part of what she calls her “glow-up journey”. In previous interviews and social media posts, she explained that the procedures help boost her confidence and make her feel her best.
Her candid approach has made her one of the few South African reality stars willing to publicly document cosmetic transformations.
The bigger beauty conversation
The online reaction also highlights a broader conversation around beauty culture in South Africa. With cosmetic procedures becoming increasingly mainstream among influencers and celebrities, many social media users are debating whether trends driven by fame and filters are creating unrealistic beauty expectations.
Still, Nonku appears unfazed by the criticism, continuing to share updates with fans and embracing her evolving look unapologetically.
