In the comments, social media users expressed hilarious reactions. While some continued to poke fun at Dr Musa Mthombeni, others suggested that he, and not his wife, was the one addicted to travelling.
Here are some of the comments:
@G_CobraTheMan joked:
“Dr Musa out here praying for world conflict like it's his personal savings plan. ‘Please keep flights cancelled, Lord. My tourist wife is costing me a fortune in Europe already.’ Man's treating geopolitical tension like financial planning. We understand completely 😭”
@exclusivfarming said:
“Not even rich people can travel this often on business class. Not even Gayton McKenzie travels this much.”
@_tomi24 said:
“I don't even think he saves for these trips; they just decide where and when they're going.”
@msmonakhisi suggested:
“I think he is instead worried that he can't feed his cravings for an international vacation.”
@Mr_Unknown65047 suggested:
“It's time for them to tour around Africa.”
@maximuss_88 joked:
“😭🤣Dr Musa will never find peace here; he'll probably just end up closing all his media accounts.”
@Biejanka4 remarked:
“They came back earlier during their last trip, because of the war threats. I'm sure he is waiting for flights to open, so they can go back to finish that trip.”
@Pirates_Pulse joked:
“It’s funny how she always travels alone, what if these wars started while she was away🤣Sometimes being broke is a blessing.”
