Khanya on The Ultimatum: South Africa reunion
During the show, Khanya became a topic of discussion as fans criticized her behavior towards her boyfriend and co-stars. Fans also pointed out that she body-shamed Sizakele on multiple occasions and Khanya apologized for the same during the reunion. She said that a lot of things were "triggering" for her and added:
"There was absolutely no reason for me to body-shame her. And I want to apologize for that."
After watching flashbacks of herself on the day of the reunion, she mentioned that "authenticity was always in the forefront" but the show was not a "true reflection" of who she is.
"I guess it's good entertainment but yeah, I say a lot," she added.
Nkateko also defended her when the host of the show called her the most "outspoken" cast member.
"I had never seen Khanya act like that. You know what I mean? And it was hard, also for her, seeing me so happy. No one is perfect, um, we all react the way we do eventually. Sometimes you might regret it. She even apologized," he said.
