Some, like media personality Khanyi Mbau, shared how she was watching reports by international media and was glued to her screen to watch the madness unfold.
Others took the opportunity to point out the contrast in law enforcement's response to the rioters compared to the much-discussed police brutality against Black people.
Anele Mdoda and Tumi Molekane both pointed out how the scenes in Washington DC seemed so surreal that they seemed to be from a movie. Anele also pointed out how the invaders of Capitol Hill were white supremacists and not aliens.

In other celebrity-related news, Briefly.co.za reported on when Connie Ferguson and her two daughters started 2021 in the gym and working on their fitness.
Connie Ferguson took to social media to share that she was bringing the fitness energy with her into 2021 and that she had already hit the gym. The actress participated in a workout session and her daughters, Lesedi and Ali, joined her.
Connie posted a selfie after they had finished and all three members of the famous family looked like they had put the work in. The actress has often shared parts of her fitness journey with social media followers and the entertainment mogul is clearly intent on continuing to do so.
The Fergusons have just returned from a family holiday overseas and are already hard at work making sure their health and fitness remains a top priority. One of the fitness practices that Connie has favoured in the past has been boxing and boxing-related exercise. The selfie she posted showed her wearing protective gloves with punching bags in the background so it's safe to say she continued with her preferred regime.
The picture had Connie, Ali and Lesedi all grinning and looking like they'd smashed their workout. They also tagged their trainer and gym but made special mention of the fact that they had ensured the first Monday of 2021 had been a productive one.
If anyone needed some motivation to get started on some New Year's resolutions, the Ferguson girls provided it.
