Considering the looting and riots that are happening in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, a number of individuals regarded her tweet as inappropriate and viewed as a person that is showing off unnecessarily. Tweepsexpected the television presenter to be sensitive towards the fact that there is a cry for “hunger and high unemployment rates” in the country, therefore speaking from a privileged perspective is uncalled for.
Individuals that were against her tweet commented on her statement that came from a “privilege” perspective:
“Ayanda is the reason why I believe that rich people should stay away from social media during these times. We are happy for them but we are sensitive right now, life is excessively unkind to the majority of us. Yo” – @BossladyMsibi tweeted.
@THIZOZO_MOKOENA also tweeted: “When they said beauty without brains, they meant people like you.”

“But Ayanda Thabethe is no different to y’all thanking God for being healthy while people are dying during this pandemic. But y’all enjoy being consistently inconsiderate. Hypocrites.” – @Rato commented.
The media personality has since deleted her tweet after the ongoing backlash and comments she received from Tweeps.
