Here are some of the reactions:

@Lebelo_la_ asked:

“You think she went to install it in Turkey Soliolis?”

@dah_afrika advised:

“Don't comment on your peers' wives and girlfriends. It's not the first time you've done this. Now you're inviting unsavoury comments under your post. How do you think her man feels? Keep it to yourself, bro.”

@Skhehlakehla requested:

“Is it possible to invite her to ‘Podcast and Chill’?”

@JapoesDeKok said:

“This is your takeaway from all this, Sol?”

@KingsleyDlamin2 shared:

“Why are people focusing on that instead of the racism she encountered? I maintain that SA racism was far worse than US racism. In the USA, she is black. In SA, she is coloured, black, Indian. Indians and coloureds even denied her. SA created the term coloured who hates to be called black. It's a mess.”

@BlackBlokeSteve disagreed:

“She's not as hot with the weave.👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾”

SbudaV87 asked:

"Do you prefer her with long or short hair?"
