"But those people employ more than 100 people, how many have you employed so far since enough is enough?"

"Nota slowly degrading into a Ntsiki Mazwai, amazing talent going to waste because of hatred…"

@billy_x_blanco commented:

"Lekau has created so many jobs for black people. I think this is unfair on him. That dude is all about creating jobs. I'm sure in the long run when he's built the business up to that level he will start manufacturing locally."

@DenzelAfrika said:

"Cheap labour is profitable for business. A lot of companies manufacturers their products in China. Why are you only singling out Bathu and Drip, just because they are owned by black persons?"

@papizwane2 added:

"You are weird! Which company in its infancy (first 10 years) started out owning its means of production and logistics unless of course it was a beneficiary of white privilege??? So people don’t get to start somewhere with you? Lol."

DJ Shimza dragged for clapping back at his tenderpreneur accusations

In other entertainment news, Briefly News reported that DJ Shimza was recently dragged for allegedly getting the bag because of his political connections. The musician posted a happy snap of himself recently but found himself trending for all the wrong reasons.

The majority of tweeps on his timeline slammed the star for allegedly making most of his money from government tenders. Some even hilariously roasted DJ Shimza for being President Cyril Ramaphosa's boy.

TshisaLIVE reports that the club DJ and restaurant owner captioned the snap he posted on Twitter:

"Generally a happy guy with a positive approach to life."
