The post quickly gained traction and sparked a cocktail of reactions. While some supported Ngizwe Mchunu, others criticised his approach.

Here are some of the comments:

@iambongsi remarked:

“I’m a big fan of iChunu, but I’m not sure how I feel about his approach on this.”

@Gadfly342043 highlighted:

“Even justified grievances must follow lawful channels. Closing a business through pressure rather than legal process is classic self-help.”

@sirlloyd98 asked:

“He is there as who? Also, those who were fired, what was the reason that led to them being fired? Is this approach legal and also safe for the business owner? Why did these employees go to this guy instead of the proper channels, like the CCMA?”

@JerryMapatu argued:

“Then you expect people to come invest in SA with these kinds of behaviours? Any South African these days can just walk into any business and close it down. Last time was a guy who went to close a Chinese business, and it looks like it will be a normal thing to do soon.”

@Negus_777 defended:

“I think all companies filled with people of colour should be visited like this, a lot of exploitation is going on and unfair salaries in most of these companies, especially in retail.”

@Mosalagae7 said:

“English is not make sure.”
