Anele and her brood jetted off to Israel earlier this week where they have been enjoying the sights and the sounds of the country.

The radio personality has been sharing a string of pictures on her public Facebook page, and has described the country as “beautiful.”

This did not sit well with some of Anele’s fans, who took aim at her for visiting Israel.

  • Watch: Anele 'goes all Xhosa' on co-worker in hilarious prank videoIt's clear that radio personality Anele Mdoda is not someone to mess with. The 947 DJ was recently a victim on comedian Tol Ass Mo's hilarious prank show, You Got Got, where she, in the words of fans, went "all Xhosa" on co-worker Alex Caige.  

Seething followers filled the comments sections of Anele’s Facebook page with scathing insults against her.

“What an embarrassment. A black South African, who gained freedom because of the boycott and sanctions imposed by the rest of the world against Apartheid regime finds it ok to visit a similar regime. You’re either very ignorant, have been brainwashed or just stupid. I suspect the latter,” said one follower.

While another follower reminded Anele of the days of Apartheid.

“Even apartheid apologist used to say Durban and Cape Town beaches were beautiful, even though they discriminated against blacks. The same tactic used nowadays by Israel people towards the people of Palestine discriminated against blacks. The same tactic used nowadays by Israel people towards the people of Palestine. Use common sense Sisi and stop making retard out of yourself! Israel is a brutal monster!,” said the follower.

  • Sorry! But Beyoncé is not headed to SABeyoncé fans, you might want to sit down for this one. Despite ongoing speculation that Queen Bey might be headed to our shores, TMG Entertainment has learnt that South Africa is not part of the star’s “world tour” plans. Yet.

Anele did not take lightly to the comments and told people to keep their “political babble” off her page.

“Israel is beautiful *please do not post your political babble on my page, I am not saying the politics here are pretty I'm saying the land is beautiful, please respect my page and my opinions,” Anele said.
