Local fans are proud of Jojo

Local netizens reacted positively on social media, saying they admire Jojo for recognising her faults and her bravery to make a public apology.

“It takes a bigger person to see her faults and apologise. Jojo, I salute and respect you, it’s not everyone who sees their faults and apologises. What I like is that you blocked all the noise and drags you had and apologised.”

You are still young, Nana. Don't allow the world to break you, and it shows that you are growing by taking accountability for your wrongs. Love you, Karabo and God bless you.”

“We live and we learn, beautiful. Don't be too tough on yourself.”

Andiswa Candy Darkiey defended Jojo:

“I hope they will understand where you were coming from because you never knew about this group called Warriors, yet there were certain donations that were made claiming it's for Karabo Sejojo, while the cash didn't even reach you. So thank you for taking accountability for your actions, and I hope they will understand and forgive you. We always spread love, not hate.”
