SA reacts after Robert Marawa drags netizen

In the comments beneath Marawa’s scathing response, social media users reacted with mixed reactions. While some reacted with jokes, some debated Marawa’s criticism.

Here are some of the comments:

@maboss_15tts said:

“Posting a short clip from a public broadcast isn’t the same as stealing content. People share clips from radio and TV shows all the time for discussion or commentary. The 947 branding is already visible, so the source is clear. Adding a watermark doesn’t automatically mean someone is claiming ownership of the original content: it can simply show who posted or edited the clip.”
