Many local social media users felt for the lecturer standing in front. They thought the students displayed an impolite attitude towards the woman, even though they could not comprehend what was being said to them.

"Shame. Imagine how she feels about this. I would stay even if I can't hear or understand her so she won't feel bad or hurt."

@p_wow_ asked people in the comment section:

"Are you guys aware that she's a human?"

@gomo.modisee shared what they would have done:

"While she’s lecturing is wild. I’d ask her unnecessary questions about the work afterwards to make her feel better because yoh."

@portia_mntambo took the students' side and said:

"I totally understand this reasoning. It’s not necessarily disrespectful to her, but why stay when you are not absorbing anything? A meeting is needed in such situations, though."
