Netizens react to DJ Sbu's message

Shortly after the star shared his post on social media, many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions. Here's what they had to say:

@Zani_Baccaria questioned:

"Is it Mzeke Zeke who's wishing the birthday or SBU Mr Mofaya?"

@03Nkosi commented:

"What the EFF went through after the elections, I see them growing strong. The fact that they can go to any province in the country and still be able to pull numbers is a sign of a growing movement."

@chiefmringo responded:

"I wasn't expecting this compliment from you though..."

@OriginalDyan replied:

"I remember when EFF was launched at a Tembisa Stadium in 2013. Sbu mobilised an ANC rally in Thembisa, the same day. I remember he insulted EFF, said labantu base Limpopo are stupid and said they were not welcome in Tembisa with their EFF. That time, ndingumMxhosa from EC."
