Dingaan reminded the SABC 2 show's fans that the pandemic is still around and asked them to continue adhering to the rules of the lockdown. He questioned why fans don't adhere to the social distancing rules and other regulations set out to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
"Are we not people? Don't we have families? Don't we have feelings?"
He then walked around the set of the telenovela asking his co-stars to share their thoughts on the topic of masks and social distancing. The cast members, including Zonke Mchunu, Maumela Mahuwa and Azwimmbavhi Rambuda, also hit back at viewers who ask them to remove their masks when taking pics with them.

"Watching from Botswana. It's so sad, we are facing the same issue, but all in all we should practice social distancing even if they call you names, speaking of how you have a bad attitude, don't mind them, you are doing it for you, your family, and even them. Stay blessed guys and keep on entertaining us."

"But you and your colleagues are not wearing masks either. And I'm sure you don't get tested everyday. It's a very valid point you're making about safety but just make sure you're carrying it through at all times, even with your colleagues."

"Celebrity crush or whatever ANDIZI! I’ll admire you from the comfort of my home. Now let’s discuss the 'You people' remark..."
