Mzansi reacts to Siv Ngesi's post

In reaction to his post, netizens debated whether the move was a good one or bad. Some people defended the refugees for choosing to leave, whereas others agreed with Siv's views.

Here are some of the reactions:

@home_in_sweats argued:

"I don't think it's about moving somewhere 'perfect' for them. It's about moving somewhere where there are better opportunities for their children. Where they don't live in fear every day and can feel safe. Where they can feel welcome. They don't have that here, at home, where they are supposed to."

@SocialEagle_AS said:

"Sad because now they’ll have to abandon their mother tongue."

@HollyGrayle stated:

"These are the people who built South Africa into one of the only functional countries on the continent. They'll be fine in the US."

@Windpomp26 replied:

"They will never have to lock themselves up behind safety doors and electric fences again."

@soronoc responded:

"I first went to America on a university trip from Australia, and they literally gave a trigger warning speech about what we are about to see in terms of homelessness and various other forms of urban decay."

@itspalesa1212 said:

"Oh, they are about to have a rude awakening! I cannot wait."

@BlaqSabali laughed:

"There is no other place like Southa 🇿🇦. We will be here when they find out! Soon, one of them will have a meltdown online."

@ctebogo joked:

"Wait till they learn there’s no cashsend or eWallet."
