Redi took to Twitter to respond to Penny Lebyane. According to TshisaLIVE, she dragged the TV presenter for "drawing similarities between projects of strong economies and those of a poor economy".

Social media users took to Redi's comment section and praised her for speaking some sense into Penny.

"The Eiffel Tower was built for a specific trade show and was originally meant to be demolished after the show. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France because of the immigrants taken in by America. This flag of ours will have no real significance."

"Sometimes people tweet from a position of privilege and fail to read the room."

@Calidonny commented:

"Great idea but the timing is very wrong and very insensitive considering the state we are in."
