SA reacts to Kabza's new pictures

Below are some of the reactions from online users:

@PhetoleAbubakar argued:

"He is not tired, he drinks 365 days doing music, he thinks it’s cool. But now he is with grootman he will be focused."

@ThubelaKamo said:

"Oh, when it’s Kabza ke “fatigue” and not phuza face. K doll."

@Sli_Simelane suggested:

"He needs to detox and take a long break from alcohol, rehydrate, eat well and drink less sugary drinks. All this, paired with lots of sleep, should be enough to help him avoid looking like a grootman who chills on tarven crates from Thursday to Monday."

@BlazingLEGOs stated:

"A resort for a week where he can just sleep, and there’s no network."

@Sbo19DarkBeauty said:

"He needs to take some self-care days and be consistent with them."

@KhumaloFk shared:

"Be needs to take it easy on the bottle, but nobody is going to tell him because those that surround him are glazers."

"Not only his body. The diet is also important. Another factor is the heavy alcohol and smoking."

"The thing about a PF is that everyone knows the reason why you have it. Can't hide this."

@Ghostrenduth said:

"He needs to eat well and reduce alcohol. Kabza isn't working during the week. He rests more than an average employee in South Africa."
