Fans react to Somizi and Ngizwe Mchunu's awkward moment

Social media users hailed Somizi Mhlongo for ignoring Ngizwe at the event. Many said Mchunu deserved the cold shoulder because of the homophobic attacks he spewed against Somizi and the LGBTQIA+ community unprovoked.

@N3liswaB said:

"Ngyam'understand Somizi, taking a handshake from ibhinca these days is self-sabotaging."

@BabonkeL commented:

"I love Ngizwe, but this is totally unacceptable; no South African should ever feel discriminated against due to their sexuality. He needs to immediately apologise to the LGBTQIA community. Our focus should be on illegal immigrants."

@NtsakoNkuna2 wrote:

"You hate gay people, call them names, but still want to hang out in their spaces? Make it make sense."

@BlvckCroissant added:

"This idiot is homophobic & yet gets angry when a homosexual rejects him? Ngizwe is giving after 9 vibes: “hate them in the light & love them in the dark”
