@Zweli_Thixo went on X and alleged that the attire is only supposed to be worn by married women:

"Dear @somizi. in my culture, you are not allowed to wear this blanket if you haven't gone for initiation. But that is not really important.

They allowed you to compromise your attire. You were supposed to dress like a man, not as a married woman, because that's the attire of a married woman."
