People praise the quality of LV brand
What caught people's attention almost immediately, though, was not just the discovery itself but the condition of the shoes. The trainers appear to be Louis Vuitton, and to many observers, they look remarkably clean for a crash site that reportedly saw fire.
@weliza4lyf couldn't hide the scepticism, writing:
"Louis Vuitton trainers survived the fire?"
@SkyForexTraders echoed that sentiment, pointing out:
"Those shoes look too clean for a helicopter crash that caught fire btw. 👀"
@bonolo_mar expressed disbelief at the number of people present:
"Soiled accident scene. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Why do you have so many spectators?"
Blogger shared pic of Stefflon Don and Sir Wicknell
Blogger Musa Khawula shared a resurfaced photo of Stefflon Don and Sir Wicknell Chivayo shortly after news broke of his death.
Khawula's caption referenced Chivayo as 'now dead' and reignited old dating rumours involving Mihlali Ndamase and Lee Khuzwayo.
