As Ntandokazi Mzamo gained more attention, she began receiving gifts from companies and invitations to events as a guest, further elevating her public profile. However, things took a turn when she started posting half-naked videos and pictures, which went viral.
This shift in her public image led to backlash from women, who criticized her for contradicting the values she had previously been praised for. They felt that her actions reflected poorly on all South African women, as they were being judged based on her behavior.

Conversely, South African men who had previously praised her felt disappointed and betrayed by her change in behavior, believing that she had succumbed to the same behavior they had criticized other women for.
