Not hesitating to reprimand him on his statement, Maimane advised the DJ to wash the socks himself. His tweet reads:

“Spin those socks and drawers with your hands and soap. We must not forget our ubuntu as we occupy positions of privilege and proximity to power. That’s mid. Not class. We all know how to wash our own clothes. How to clean our own rooms. That is how we were raised.”

“The problem is we take the job of being a domestic worker as slavery. Normalise accepting that being a helper is also a profession and an important one too. Why does it become a problem that a helper must wash socks? Isn't laundry services doing the same and paid for?”

@MothomosoSeth commented:

“If we all did what we can, trust me, thousands of helpers would be without employment.”

@ThaCido88 replied:

“So, this guy can't wash his own socks? I'm sure le underwear is a problem for him.”
