Others said Sarah was trying to set Ayanda up for a drag.
Sarah said she wasn't about to argue with her haters, saying she was “just appreciating one of our own”.
That is so true ❤️ thank you for that. Was just appreciating one of our own. But you’re right. 🥰 https://t.co/9dJbG4YXML

This is not the first time Sarah's so-called attempts to pay tribute to SA women have fallen flat.
She apologised to fans in September for a social media post which showed her shedding animated tears at reports of femicide in the country.
Sarah was dragged on social media for the video, in which she sported designer gear, while crying tears that had been edited in.
The caption simply read: “Help #EnoughIsEnough”.
