His followers were in full support of the men but they were also distracted by their uniforms and wanting to know the point. Luckily, the creator of the post clarified why the men wer dressed in a specific way.

"Apparently these colours are less frightening to the animals, that’s why they wear them at farms and even game reserves.... sometimes we just need a little education, I guess," explained the Twitter user.

Let's take a look at the comments:

@hlonifa:

"Brilliant. The nation needs more of these gents and, of course, some ladies. Kodwa la uniform."

@H_Permza:

"I’m honestly happy for the lads but tell me why wear like 'white farmers' though?"

@PsNengovhela:

"I love to see this!"
