‘ANATHI’S BELLY IS ON HER CHEST’

Mzansi Magic fans are disappointed with actress Akhenime Mfenyane’s character Anathi, who is pregnant with Thulani’s (Tembinkosi Ngcukana) baby.

Audiences feel disrespected by the show and feel the production doesn’t take them seriously after Anathi’s baby bump moved to her chest and wasn’t convincing.

A viewer @emily_teffoME revealed on Twitter: “It moved and the people on set didn’t bother putting it on correctly.”

Fans of the Mzansi Magic telenovela compared her belly to a soccer ball, while others compared her belly to a stuffed cushion.

@Jabu_Macdonald tweeted: “The next thing Anathi gives birth to a ball.”

@_SandaMafani said: “Seems like her “stomach” keeps on slipping up and down. From the chest then down again.”
