Tebogo Thobejane's latest court appearance has set social media ablaze, but it wasn't courtroom proceedings that had everyone glued to their screens. Instead, her revealing blue lace outfit stole the spotlight, sparking a flood of reactions from South Africans who couldn't agree on whether it was a bold fashion statement or an inappropriate choice for court.
As photos and videos spread across X, the conversation quickly shifted from the case itself to Thobejane's striking look, with opinions pouring in from every corner of the internet.
