South African actor and entertainer Siv Ngesi has once again found himself at the centre of a familiar debate — this time responding publicly to a fan who flat-out asked him about his sexual orientation on X (formerly Twitter).

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.

@Xandra_KH kept it simple: "He's straight. He is definitely straight."

@TheRealSIM_SA raised eyebrows with: "I don't mind, as long as you fakh me."

@Mma_Stene asked cheekily: "As a 📏 or magoebaskloof road?"

@nicki_D_ quipped: "Even spaghetti is before it gets wet, Siv 🤭🤭🤭 ka dlala 😭"

@Yondizee went philosophical, writing: "That arm has an elbow. Just saying. NasesiXhoseni kukho intetha ethi: Akukho ndzwana ingenasiphako. Akukho ngalo ingena ngqiniba."
