Netizens filled the comments with reactions. While some questioned why Sizwe Dhlomo is always on Vusi Thembekwayo’s throat, others joined in the fun and trolled the motivational speaker-cum-businessman.

Here are some of the reactions:

@angiyikuswela questioned:

“Sizwe, Troller of Note. What's your issue exactly with @VusiThembekwayo? Umfunani kanti?”

@Ndlombango remarked:

“I wonder if VT is as obsessed with Siz as Siz is with VT?”

@zulukingdom77 highlighted:

“No peace will ever prevail between Sizwe and Vusi.”

@DDT_PM queried:

“If Bushiri can do it, why not?”

@NubianSen shared:

“Indirect marketing. I have spotted so many potential clients under this tweet.”

@phestahiver asked:

“Did anyone ever question your DJ booking price or your radio DJ rate? Or o no nyela VT?”

@cyanda_leevi argued:

“I see no desperation but a value one has placed on oneself. Those who understand and see the value of that amount. When you run a business and offer a service, not everyone is your target market. You put the price where your value is. And not everyone will get it."
