She went on to list their sponsors and honoured the families and community members who have supported the mall from its inception.

Her husband and chairman of the mall, Vivian Reddy, echoed Sorisha's sentiments and highlighted that the mall had employed 1,100 people, with plans to provide even more job opportunities in the future.

Speaking to Briefly News, KwaDukuza resident Thalente Msomi thanked the Reddy family for building the mall.

He says the town of Stanger had no decent shops or restaurants, but the mall saved it as they now have places to buy. He also shared how he was worried the mall wouldn’t recover after it was looted in 2021. Msomi expressed that they are still feeling the effects of the looting because some shops never came back.

"Her stylist really hates her, even on the show; all her outfits are just."

charleezzy_ trolled:

"Dressed like a rapper from Atlanta."

SheIsHloni advised:

"There’s a particular way you need to stand when you’re shaped like this, either cross your legs or bend one leg, and avoid big shoes. Their heaviness emphasises the kiss kiss."

LolaMonsue was shocked:

"This outfit? The jeans? The shoes? Ohh, Soriri??"

LadyM1306 laughed:

"A lot is going on here."
