"I honestly don’t see anything wrong here, guys. Lerato is a celebrity, and her fans want to follow her husband. How is that an issue? Lerato is bl*wing this out of proportion. First, she said our African men are trash now, it’s this. Haybo, she must chill!"

"She should've never posted even his finger or shadow if she really didn't want him found. She created curiosity around him. The girls are weird for requesting though, yikes."

"I’m honestly glad she’s taking legal action. People need to learn to mind their own business, respect others privacy and understand boundaries."
