Guftmkay stated:

"Yooo ayyibooo, the problem is that girl, why did she wait for Miss South Africa to announce top 10 so that she can start to speak out??? She was supposed to speak out when this girl was entering the competition. Now we have to face another drama again. Yooo ayyikeee."

"I did mention being parodied and how it made her sad. She’s taken the case to CCMA, which highlights the extent to which actions made her feel. Sometimes you may make people feel bullied without intent, and I don’t think people should be crucified for that. It would, however, help to know how she handled (or still handles) the situation. Bullying is not a light allegation, and I think it must be addressed."

Sam234 stated:

"No, there are 4 parts to that video, go watch it. I don’t think it’s jealousy. It is purely adult bullying in workplaces, and they have lifetime trauma scars. Plus. I feel that the lady has much more to lose if this is a lie."
