Sinenhlanhla Khoza's story echoes calls for understanding in the face of the unfamiliar.
Social media in South Africa has been gripped by the heartbreaking story of Sinenhlanhla Khoza, a 31 year old mother from Mtubatuba in KwaZulu-Natal, whose rapid physical transformation left many online shocked, confused and searching for answers.
But beyond the viral clips, whispers and speculation lies a deeply human story about living with a rare medical condition most people have never even heard of.
Sinenhlanhla Khoza allegedly has Werner Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that elevates the body's ageing process, typically surfacing in late adolescence to early adulthood.
Khoza’s appearance reportedly changed dramatically over just a few years.
