Mzansi reacts to Bonang's post

The response to her post was immediate and emotional, with thousands of users sharing their own anguish.

@OnnicaMampane wrote: "A very terrible one 💔😭"

@baxolilem03 directed her anger at government inaction, writing: "💔 When are we closing down the country as women and everything stops? Maybe just maybe we will be noticed too that we are human just like men. Our government is failing us; if he can go all out for March, March? Why not for us women? We're not important, I guess?? 💔😭😩"

@SelloS86666 offered a more contentious take, saying: "If we can get rid of all these undocumented foreigners, we will have a direction; no way investigators can struggle to trace even a fingerprint on all those bodies... But let me not build a narrative and comply with how terrible a day it is, as there are still many more days to come"
