Outspoken media personality Somizi Mhlongo joined the conversation about Zim content creator Ndoyisile, who sparked outrage over his remarks about people from Tembisa crowding Mall of Africa.

"I think people who make the Mall of Africa full are people from Tembisa. Don’t you guys have a mall in Tembisa? People are just gallivanting and occupying the mall for no reason, and it’s so uncomfortable for us who are here who are claustrophobic."
