Fashion stylist says Zolani Mahola is "scruffy"

Oh no he didn't!

Fashion stylist Felipe Mazibuko has apparently referred to Freshly Ground's Zolani Mahola as "scruffy". According to Sunday Sun, after seeing Zolani on a special Heritage Day braai show on Top Billing, Felipe took to Facebook and wrote that  instead of a braai, Zolani should have a makeover session.

He then wrote: "Dirtyfontein." The paper reported that Felipe's followers agreed that the singer needs a hot bath and a good scrubbing. Sources close to Zolani apparently said she heard about Felipe's comment and was unimpressed.

A source close to Felipe said: "Felipe says what’s on his mind. We asked him about it and he said he was expressing his views. "(He indicated that) if people don’t agree – to hell with them!" The source added that Felipe doesn't have beef with Zolani,  but he was "only trying to help a black sister from going down".

"No one says she should put on a weave. But at least look clean and neat," the source told the paper.

Zolani told Sunday Sun: "I don’t care and I wished I could care what people think of me. That’s all I can say!"

Felipe’s phone apparently rang unanswered and he didn't return Sunday Sun's messages at the time of going to print.
