In an interview with eNCA, Dlamini said:

“Let’s first talk a little bit about us being called names, you know, xenophobic, vigilantes quite frankly it does not matter what you think about us. What is important is the reality that we stand for. Our reality is simple, put South Africans first in South Africa, no compromise. If you feel different about it you can move.”

He added that the community meeting was to discuss how Operation Dudula members can assist police and government.

Social media users shared their thoughts on the matter

@Ration_Q shared:

“People should stop disrespecting Nhlanhla Lux. They can't be comparing him with someone who doesn't like South Africans like Julius Malema. Nhlanhla Lux should be compared with Chris Hani #OperationDudula #PutSouthAfricanFirst.”

“But really, how do you compare a child from day-care with a postgraduate? Are you for real?”

@SaneleDecember said:

“Both of these guys are a necessary evil in our current political setting. Just like when Juju was introduced as an EFF leader in 2013, he shook the status quo and people were scared. If Juju ruled all on his own, we would surely lose a lot of investments. Same with this Lux guy.”

@asilentspace_ shared:

"I don't care about the comparisons. To each his own. What interests me is the fact that there are comparisons - That is the interesting part. It means people are potentially starting to think differently about various aspects associated with the two people."
