Social media users praised DJ Lamiez Holworthy for being respectful towards the Ndebele culture and traditions.

Lamiez and hubby visit Esther Mahlangu

A tweep, @Zweli_Thixo, shared a photo of Lamiez Holworthy and her husband, Khuli Chana, when they visited artist Esther Mahlangu. The DJ then received praise from the tweep, who hailed her for respecting the Ndebele culture and wearing the attire properly.

This follows outrage, which ensued when Somizi Mhlongo wore an attire allegedly reserved for married women only.

The same user wrote, "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."

People online had a lot to say about Lamiez Holworthy and how she looked great in the Ndebele outfit.

"She wore a dress Gogo Mahlangu was happy."

@Leerahback gushed:

"I really love her sense of humour and how she minds her business."

@Kay2506 stated:

"This is very important."

@Emmy_Jiyane asked:

"So, let me guess this straight. You people are saying uMam Esther does not know the culture and the rules of Ndebele people, to allow Somizi Mhlongo to do what he pleases, and she did not say anything."

@Amanda_twice2 argued:

"Ndebele people forget that y'all are not the original Nguni people; you came from that other tribe and adopted other people's ways; stop with the entitlement."

SA does not want Somizi as host for new show

In a previous report from Briefly News, Somizi Mhlongo was told to stay far away from the upcoming Drag Race South Africa.

This is because Somizi has reportedly gotten on people's last nerve, as he is always hosting or presenting a show. Peeps hope he won't be part of the show.
