"There are a lot of Minkies in our society, the way you nailed it! It kinda has brought education to a lot of people regarding this character. Well done. Minkie red flags!"

@Westkanjalo replied:

"She killed the role. A job well done to her. Adulting is a top series."

"She killed the role. Proper actress that one!"

@FRSA_Press said:

"No, she doesn't play a role of a street-smart girl but a role of a toxic girl that thrives from the society narratives like that women are always victims and not perpetrators. Thus, their signs will be downplayed until they kill, even when they kill, the media won't call it 'GBV."

@Samanthaanzemo1 wrote:

"When she held that knife and was venting to TsikiTsiki. He could have calmed her down and told her comforting words, but he kept provoking her when he was in danger. I am pissed nje. Why did he have to die?

@MashwauSuccess said:

"She deserved that treatment. I mean she always allowed him back knowing how bad he treats her."

@hlogi_t replied:

"I was telling my cousin that she’s should never be proud of someone being obsessed with her because that’s how people get killed and the reason for high GBV cases."
