Netizens react to Thobile's response

Shortly after the star shared her response to a question she was asked by the production team went viral on social media, and many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions. Here's what they had to say below:

@JackiePhamotse said:

"This man is a loser! The type of person who hates his own wife’s success! He will always try to dim her light. Always quick to claim her work and blackmail her every chance he gets! He is weak and lacks leadership. He has failed in all areas! He is not even a provider!"

@FemeaZ commented:

"I feel like Thobile is just influenced by Mangwabe and the comments she's been reading on social media over the years. She loves Musa, that's all."

@Lorato_Xaba responded:

"I’m not sure if Mthombeni can handle a financially independent woman. He should be happy there’s one less to take care of, especially in this economy."

@RealMadamCoco replied:

"Musa can’t stand an independent woman. He wants control and for you to feel beneath him, like his name is more powerful than your efforts. A man like that secretly hates you."

@PatootieCutie_F mentioned:

"I NEED her to leave him. Mseleku uses her inability to have children against her! He wants her to appreciate everything, nonsense included, because he married her even though she can’t have kids. Please LEAVE this man!"

@BaneoTax stated:

"Truth is, he did open the doors for her, and she's also right by saying she accomplished whatever she accomplished through her blood, sweat and tears. Two things can be true at the same time. They both must acknowledge these truths."
