"How unclassy, asking to take pictures at an airport. We expect people who take flights to not be groupies. Especially for someone who’s not even a celeb. Liesl wanted to take her flight in peace."

"She was there for travelling and not for a photo shoot. Airports are so frustrating, and the last thing you need is people stopping you for pictures. At the end of the day, people want to catch their flights on time and maybe get a cuppa before boarding."

"The entitlement you guys have on celebrities bores me. Y'all forget that they are also human."

@KholoDimples added:

"At least she agreed to take the pictures. She owes no one pictures btw. I know Zenande Mfe...would have said "NO" 🙂‍↕️"
