DJ Sbu has joined a growing list of celebrities like Nota Baloyi and politicians like Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) leader Julius Malema, calling out South African-born Elon Musk for his ongoing criticism of the country.
Outspoken Musk has used his platform, X (formerly Twitter), to share his views on farm murders and explain why his internet service, Starlink, is not allowed to operate in South Africa.
DJ Sbu did not hold back, joining the conversation with a bold statement: “We are living in apartheid denialism. Racists exposing themselves every day on this app. Even its owner, sad to see him sowing division in his country of birth.”
And many netizens agreed, sharing exactly what’s on their minds.
Well-known podcaster @GodPenuel weighed in with: “Not surprising. Many of us were naïve enough to think we can get along and build together.
“Many, if not most, White ppl refuse to build with Black ppl in SA. They only pretend to get along with Black ppl when White spaces & institutions are doing well.”
@incontroZA said:” After all that we’ve forgiven, we are too nice as Black South Africa.”
@nyebe_official said: “Looks like he bought this platform precisely for that. We need entrepreneurs to build our own social media apps.”
@Anele_charliez responded with: “They know what they’re doing. They want apartheid 2.0 and that’s not going to happen.”
Musk, the world’s richest person, was born and raised in Pretoria and Bryanston.
At 17, he left for Canada before moving to the USA in 1992. Musk has become a prominent political adviser and top campaign donor to former US President Donald Trump, serving both the 45th and 47th presidencies.
