"I ask myself, 'Heeh, what does our country look like without these people?' Right, remember as well that our helpers, gardeners and security, heh. Let's say that they are all gone, are we, as South Africans, capable of doing the jobs that they are doing?"

He argued that they are also taking over nightclubs and salons, "Guys, we are in ish," he said, adding that he also employs a Zimbabwean cleaner and a Malawian gardener, and only one Zulu-speaking tailor and Afrikaaner.

Mhlongo said his employees at Sompire consist only of those two local race groups, Zimbabweans and Malawians. He compared all of them and said the Zulu employee is at the bottom when it comes to service delivery.

"It's the attitude, the excuses, they are slacking," he laughed.

Mzansi responds to Somizi's video

Mzansi did not hold back in slamming Somizi. Below are some of the responses:

@ShweleNgelosi said:

"Did Somizi Mhlongo see those videos of South Africa queueing for that News Cafe job. He is bragging about employing foreign Nationals when our youth are unemployed! South Africa made and supported his career; now we are suddenly not good enough! Saying that South Africans can't deliver and has attitude is a lie. They say that cause they know they can't take advantage of South Africans the way they do with illegal foreigners."
