"ndithe and then what 🤷🏾♂️."

Moshe Ndiki's Xhosa outfit divides Mzansi
At the heart of the controversy is the outfit's design, which features an off-shoulder cut more commonly associated with feminine silhouettes. Some users argued that the style misrepresents traditional Xhosa attire, while others simply questioned whether it was appropriate for a father of young children.
@TheJustCaused was among the most vocal critics:
"You will never even see a traditional Xhosa attire that is this revealing."
@KingOlw3thu added a sharp observation:
"Imagine seeing your father like this😅"
@HistoryFactou kept it brief but biting:
"This is how social media craziness has reduced some fathers to be."
@GrootmanGP went further with a comment about Ndiki's sons:
"If his sons went to my high school, we would cook them every day until they change schools."
Not everyone, however, was ready to pile on. @a6826da71fb342f pushed back against what they described as unnecessary moral policing:
"The only sad thing is how bored people like you with nothing interesting in their lives boil and squirm at the sight of another person enjoying his life...each to their own...if it doesn't affect you, why are you so bothered. Moral police. God's council members 🤧😂get a life"
