"Wow, wow... I had to stop what I was watching and click the moment I saw Loyiso's picture. One of my favourites."

@Rebranded-u23k responded:

"He is a philosopher, rational, and realistic."

@Madam_GucciBronjie wrote:

"He is such a humble and smart man. Art is really something he's passionate about, and not only doing it for fame, I like that about him. He is also not fazed by fake glitz and glam; he just wants to be himself. That's why powerful people like him are rare in this industry. His attitude and beliefs will take him very far. All the best to him."

@RalebogaMumakwe responded:

"How I've always admired Loyiso since his days on The Queen. Thank you for this great episode."

@ThembisJournal said:

"I’ve been following Loyiso for a long time; he used to post his wife a lot, but I guess he stopped for personal reasons. He has grown so much in the arts; it’s beautiful to watch. Well done, mahn!"
