"You forgot to shave darling. Didn't know whom grow chest and beard (hehe). Thanks Mr. U look stunning, thank u for taking the stand. Just one bit of advice you're going to have a lot of men running after you for the day. God bless."

Sello Mzica Molete supported the cause, but wouldn't participate:

"As much as I hate gender-based violence, I would NEVER wear women clothes NEVER."

Swazi Tamar Kunene shared her reservations as well:

"There was no need of wearing women's clothes to say no to gender based violence,are you practising homosexuality? Wonders shall never end. Yoh."
