@dajay_03 said:

“Assassination of character. A credible journalist can't make a caption without posting a video link he mentioned. That's why he has blocked the comments.”

@GatvolAuthority asked:

“Thetha phela, what’s the story?”

@PIET_VANWYK predicted:

“Misuzulu will be dethroned by his own nation. In Setswana, they say ‘Kgosi ke Kgosi ka Setshaba’”

@Waltz42747233 remarked:

“But whoever is recording him must pay.”

@bankz088 alleged:

“They will expropriate your Natal properties without compensation for sharing propaganda.”

@NMaluleke012 asked:

“Tired of pretending what does SMH! Mean?”

@FollowMakhi commented:

“They are lying; they can't wait to publish if there was anything sort of. We know they hate him😭”

@RevTPDips argued:

“Succession plan is crucial. You cannot lead as if you will live forever. Preparation is key. This boy was not prepared for the throne. He clearly does not have a strong support system or he is too stubborn to listen. He needs help with alcohol abuse/addiction. Quick!”
