The video had Sonia's head on the chopping block. However, those who watched the entire video knew what she was talking about.

@Amanda_Umxhosa corrected:

"Context: they were talking about isthembu. The younger version and grooming is in reference to her wanting a younger version of who will be kwiSthembu naye. It’s not about her grooming a boy. Please watch the full version on YouTube."

@Okuhle_CFM argued:

"No woman should come out and say there are no men or men are scarce cause there are billions of men just CHOOSE one - then submit to him (as your leader in relationship) just like how you choose a government then submit to it."

@NtateWilliams asked:

"It's sad how most women settle for anything after 35. Do they feel they're running out of time?"
