The post that triggered the exchange came from user @PriinceySA, who wrote: "Let's just ask him once..... @iamSivN what's ur sexual orientation?" Ngesi's reply was brief but telling: "I know it shocks you all! But I'm," leaving the sentence pointedly incomplete and sparking even more reaction from his followers.
