The comments were fiery and wide-ranging. Here is what people had to say:

"The very same opportunity he's benefiting from could benefit our own South African 🇿🇦 content creator."

@IkoloAgidi responded:

"Using the term 'illegal migrant' does not necessarily mean you are right. Most of these migrants are 'legal migrants'; however, due to your hate and phobia of them, you choose the term 'illegal' to suit your xenophobic ideology. Finally, migrants have advanced survival instincts."

@tintobee took a more measured stance:

"Well done to the young man; a lot of people struggle to reach this level. He must stay focused and work harder. Cape Town belongs to everyone who can afford it. Nobody says anything about the Austrians and Germans, but it's wrong when a black person achieves something."
