Netizens react to Xolani Khumalo's return on Sizok'thola
Many netizens had mixed reactions to Khumalo's return to the show after the channel distanced itself from him when he was charged with serious allegations last year. See what they had to say:
@AgriGrowthBuzz said:
"I so wish this was Xolani Khumalo’s own baby—his brainchild, his business idea—because when the going got tough, they dropped him like a hot potato. They left him stranded, only to crawl back now that he’s free, desperate to milk him for ratings. It’s disgusting."
@incontroZA wrote:
"Nigerians will think twice about dealing now."
@SALEM_WORD commented:
"Then they are going to through him under the bus again."
@LesetjaMagongwa responded:
"He'll no longer be the same on that show; the technique of intimidation by arrest works well on the psyche of an individual, he'll work under fear, with little confidence."
@KTumelo9 replied:
"They disassociated themselves from him, now that he was cleared, they are renewing the bromance."
@Mfanafuthi46 stated:
"They didn't support him when it was rough. But, ke guy is genuine about fighting crime; he won't mind going there. If it was me, I would show them the middle finger."
