Eish, it appears DJ Shimza failed to read the room and had netizens attacking him from all angles over his post:

ItsLithaAfter9 asked:

"You want Reeva’s family to relive the trauma of this man callously murdering their daughter and blaming it on imaginary people that look like you?"

TheGreatLerato dragged Shimza:

"If you want to know the “ndabas” about his case, you can just rewatch his trial on YouTube. But you want it to be a Netflix special so you can sit and watch it for entertainment while her family and friends mourn."

Meanwhile, some netizens took the dragging a step further by bringing up Shimza's alleged alliance with government officials:

MightiJamie suggested:

"The whole world knows the Oscar story. Shouldn’t Netflix make one about entertainers who have close relationships with powerful politicians and win government contracts? I think that’s the dindabas that the streets want fully played on loud volume.

phumlaexists said:

"The indabas you should be telling us is how you allegedly got tenders during the pandemic."

"They must also sign a cheque about you benefitting from ANC tenders and Department of Tourism money."
