Social media users had conflicted responses to Ntsiki’s comment with some agreeing with her while others did not understand how people’s choices bothered her.

I think what is cheap is failing to understand that people have a right to choose how they look.

One user who seemed to understand the uWrongo hitmaker had a justifiable explanation to give, commenting:

I hear you…but many traditional things are hybrid now kaMazwai, not justifying, just reality. Once you change one thing from isintu, other things have the right to change too. Also how far back, do we go? It got diluted long time, it all comes back to relevance of the present.
