The SPCA has publicly responded to an image of two dogs spotted in a X post by radio and TV personality Anele Mdoda.
This comes amid news that content creator Sasha Tshiamo is facing animal cruelty charges relating to an emaciated dog seen in her viral TikTok video. The dog, nicknamed “Bobby,” has since been removed and is awaiting adoption.
In April, Anele announced her engagement to partner, with partner Bulelela “Buzza” James, with a traditional lobola celebration.
SPCA RESPONDS TO PIC OF DOGS IN ANELE X POST
On her X account, Anele Mdoda posted images of her trip to her family home in the Eastern Cape.
In the images, Anele and a group of elders were seen enjoying a plate of meat whilst sitting outdoors.
“Perfect day at home”, she captioned the post.
In the comments section, many X users spotted two hungry dogs in the background, likely waiting patiently to join in on the festivities.
Many jokingly tagged the SPCA.
@DUNCAN160: “SPCA, they are eating alone while the dogs are just watching
@KiptonNative: “Bobby and his mate are waiting for their bones. They are not impressed by the delays.”
@IAmWhatIAmAt100: “The dogs are so skinny, look at how sad the other one is behind them
Responding to being tagged in Anele Mdoda’s posts, the SPCA’s official X account thanked the public for their “concern.”
It replied to one X user: “The dogs in the photos appear in good condition and not in distress.
It added: “If you believe otherwise, please let us know”.
CLAP BACK OVER CRITICISM OF CLOTHING
Apart from the dogs, several X users also criticised Anele Mdoda for her choice of clothing – a tracksuit and sneakers – whilst engaging with community elders.
Clapping back, Anele posted: “You can wear anything when you are at home. This is not up for discussion. My family elders are the ones who called me there. Please apply whatever diluted rules to culture in your homes”.
