Instead of siding with her, Naledi criticised the woman\u2019s actions, suggesting that the issue wasn\u2019t bullying but rather deliberate imitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one is bullying you; you\u2019re the one bullying her. Lento oyenzayo is so annoying. Grow into your own person,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Naledi went further, directly tagging the woman and urging her to embrace her own identity instead of trying to mirror someone else\u2019s lifestyle and persona. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to move like her, talk like her, or live like her to be noticed. There\u2019s only one you, and that\u2019s your power,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Her comments quickly gained traction online, sparking debate among social media users. While some supported her stance, others dissected the situation, with one user writing, \u201cNo, but Sisi really hates herself shame because what do you mean she\u2019s made being Lamiez her whole personality, but now has the nerve to say she\u2019s being bullied?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naledi\u2019s remarks have since added fuel to the conversation around identity, individuality, and the pressure to emulate public figures in the age of social media.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Naledi #Aphiwe #calls #Lamiez #Holworthys #lookalike #copying<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; has weighed in on the ongoing social media chatter surrounding a woman accused of imitating Lamiez Holworthy, and she&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56167"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56168,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56167\/revisions\/56168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
