During his interview on The Penuel Show, DJ Sbu mentioned that Trevor was doing us all a favour in doing the tourism ad. He also mentioned that even if he was paid the exuberant amount people claimed he got, he still did the country a huge favour.

He said:

"There is no basis for the criticism claiming that we are generating negative opinions, as it would prevent us from having the chance to appreciate Black Coffee.

"These individuals are not part of the government, and they are not obligated to extend any favours to us. Therefore, I believe it is unjust to criticise them. Trevor is world-class, he hosts the Grammys and associates with the crème de la crème."

He also added:

"I am definitely sure that bill would have been 10 times or 20 times more, but you can see that he was doing us a favour.”

Activist Thokozile talks about how this ad can contribute to the country's image

Speaking to Briefly News, Political and social justice activist Thokozile Sewela Nhlumayo shared how such high-profile endorsements can contribute to the country's image and global perception:

"Saying this from an economic context and business side of things, I think such high-profile endorsement can contribute to the country's image and global perception in several ways. Firstly, I think by attracting attention and Investment to South Africa.

"As well as potentially boosting tourism and trade because if we are being practical and looking at it from an economic perspective, this can play a role in shaping the country's image on a global stage by highlighting its strength and potential."
