Thuto Somandla argued:

"All these people saying MK is a party for amaZulu are just shallow, ignorant or denials. If you look at the history of politics in this country, you'll appreciate the fact that the nguni people, as the majority, have been at the forefront of the liberation struggle for ALL people of colour. A large number of members in the EFF are Zulu-speaking despite its founder being a molobedu."

Lebogang Ramaboea doubted Big Zulu:

"He's hungry, this one."

Kagisho Magomo Kaygee Matsutswa agreed:

"It's all about politics of the stomach."

Klaas Nono Mabunda added:

"They don't know him. Wait until Zuma starts accepting gigs to sing and dance."

"MK is a Zulu party. Very regional. I don't see it making changes in our country, just in KZN."

Abongile Boyzz Mpondo added:

"Unxilile uZulu Boy, I mean, when you are led by an 81-year-old, what future plans will he have for artists?"
