"What makes her tired? She is even Less than 25."

@Nzima19Thandeka said:

"She's still young and learning; people should not be too hard towards her."

@ma7_627 showed concern:

"This is not about how she behaves ku social media, she's being clear that someone is trying to sabotage her career and we have all seen it happen many times. This has nothing to do ngokuziphatha kwakhe. This is a cry for help!!!"

@makatli20 was unsympathetic:

"No, Naledi is rude, disrespectful and doesn't rate anyone.... I think something had to humble her.... Social media is a no-go place to vent and throw slurs as a celebrity."
