“Sizwe Dhlomo is a vile person, hey. Some guy is disagreeing with him on luxury car dealerships and stuff, then he goes to the guy's profile to look for a reason that he can't comment on cars because he's poor and lives in the hood. Mvevane eneMali is still imvevane ka malayta.”

SA reacts after Sizwe Dhlomo mocks a fan's financial status
In the comments underneath @zwai_ndimba’s post, calling out Sizwe Dhlomo for poverty-shaming a fan, netizens weighed in with mixed reactions. While some sympathised with the alleged victim, some defended Sizwe Dhlomo.
Here are some of the reactions:
@mcebo65490 said:
“🤞🏽 I saw that. And people are there laughing at the guy as if they're not in the same position as him. They're enablers of such behaviour from Siz because they glaze him too much as if sucking up to him or insulting him will affect your life, it won't. He doesn't do anything for them.”
@CusieEisuc remarked:
“If Elon and I are arguing about investments and Elon feels I am wrong, he can check the Forbes list to see if it's worth arguing with me or if I hold any certification that proves my knowledge on the subject. If he's not convinced, he can leave the convo based on that.”
@Zweli_1985 asked:
“That was a very low blow from him, but the guy was rude first. It's difficult to draw the line. Another guy said, Sizwe must go and start a family. Is he supposed to be the bigger person and let anyone speak as and how they wish?”
