Someone else joked that the strong wind on the mountain tried to steal their personality during the difficult hike up. A different reviewer said three baboons stared at them like they owed the animals money.

South Africans quickly flooded the comments section after watching the hilarious video online. Many rushed to defend the mountain, questioning why anyone would rate it so poorly in the first place.
Others joked about the sheer audacity of criticising one of Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks. Some pointed out that food is actually sold near the mountain, unlike what the reviews claimed online.
