SA reacts to old video of Mihlali Ndamase explaining dating married men
In the comments, netizens expressed mixed reactions. While some supported Mihlali Ndamase’s argument, others criticised her for seemingly justifying dating married women.
Here are some of the comments:
@AnfieldNinja argued:
“Come at me all you want, but she has a point. You may be legally married, but the divorce process usually starts when people have long checked out of the marriage. So why wait for years until the divorce is finalised to seek love? And why is this being framed as if she's the one who's to blame for her partner's marriage ending? And even if we assume that she did play a role in ending the marriage, doesn't the guy who cheated on his wife primarily shoulder the blame? 🤔🤔”
@DreadyPrince remarked:
“Doesn't make sense.”
@Matt_Mogotlane shared:
“She's not making any sense. I'm guessing the guy she's referring to probably has a lot of money, and that's why she was or is dating him; that's the only logical explanation.”
@Lebo_stunna claimed:
“She wants to feel what it is like to have a married man.”
@me4362 shared:
“I hate that she keeps doing this to her brand.”
@IamKeotshepile asked:
“Why did she think it was a good idea to say that 🤦♀️”
@DilotsaT suggested:
“She didn't answer the question. Nor did she deny that it's her preference. A simple answer should have been: ‘I don't specifically date married men. I date a man who has pursued, charmed and won my affections. I don't ask about their marital status.’”
