Local fans are divided about Mawisa’s message to the youth
Local netizens reacted on social media to say Mawisa is right to question youngsters while others felt she is trying her luck.
BigDlamz gave their view:
“Respect is earned, not demanded.”
MightiJamie made an example:
“Wait till the next group comes in. They will be calling her a hun. YN - ‘Did you hear what the hun Claire said in the performance review’. YN2- ‘Claire is crashing out fam, her logic doesn’t sit well with me, allow it fam’.
Sbahlesonkezwen disagreed:
“Calling you by your name, regardless of the age difference, doesn't mean I disrespect or see you as less of a person you think you are. These ‘titles’ y'all think you are entitled to are really not necessary tbh, especially to the black community.”
Nolundi_M is a fan:
“This woman’s face is so powerful.”
VITO_G_Wagon made a note:
“They date 21-year-old boys and demand to be called Auntie? Hilarious.”
Chibuleni asked a question:
“Is your name written like Sis Claire on your ID?”
SifisoHlope agrees:
“Totally agree with this. The problem is when grown people cannot be corrected and a ‘professional’ environment is run like a household.”
iAmSpreadlove admires Mawisa:
“It's long been my opinion that Claire Mawisa is the most beautiful woman in SA.”
NormaMansoor backs Mawisa:
“Love this post. Thank you and I agree with you 100%.”
Ngubenil said Mawisa is right:
“So true!!! People have really forgotten!”
