Despite the severity of the charges Xolani and crew face, Mzansi remains firm in their belief that Xolani Khumalo is innocent, saying he was carrying out his duty as a citizen.

One person on X (Twitter) said,

"SA’s will surprise every chance they get… every day we complain about foreign nationals that sell drugs but are not willing to voice out our support for one person that was fighting the same drugs that are on the streets… Not even politicians or celebs."
