It is no secret that Lamiez Holworthy is one of the kindest ZAlebs, as week after week, she makes headlines for doing great things for total strangers. Now she has shown Mzansi a side of herself not many knew about by coming out guns blazing in defense of Uncle Waffles.
Uncle Waffles has become a household name since a video of her having fun at work went viral. Unfortunately for the young talent, her fame has brought a host of haters to her door, and she is regularly trending for being dragged for one flimsy reason or another.
This time, the heat was turned on to her because tweeps apparently did not like how she dressed for one of her events. In the controversial video, her underwear was showing, and SAns on social media immediately lost their minds, calling it indecent and inappropriate attire for her job.
But Lamiez had no time for such slander, and she came swinging at the haters. She sharply questioned them on whether there is a specific dress code that DJs are required to adhere to, to which she obviously got no response.
She continued to ask Mzansi to live and let live, and to mind their own business rather than wasting their time hating on someone who was just living her life.
One tweep made the wrong move by responding that although there was no strict dress code, women need to dress more conservatively to avoid being sexually abused. To this, Lamiez asked whether he meant that a woman’s dressing justifies rape. Again, the tweep could not stand the heat, and has since deleted his comment, lest evidence of being a rape apologist remain online.
In a beautiful show of female DJ solidarity, DJ Zinhle also came forth to bash Uncle Waffles’ detractors. Responding to those who asked whether Waffles’ dressing was appropriate for her gigs, Zinhle asked what bearing her clothes have on the quality of her sound.
She especially had smoke for those who only wait for her pictures and videos to be posted online to talk about what a waste of money it is to pay to see her, yet have never paid to see Uncle Waffles.

She went on to point out the hypocrisy in the fact that Mzansi had a meltdown when Uncle Waffles’ underwear was exposed, when male artists sag their trousers all their time revealing theirs, and nobody bats an eyelid.
The ladies are showing that one thing you will not do in their presence is bash other women, and we love the solidarity! All the best to Uncle Waffles in her career going forward.
