A segment of Twitter users trolled Lerato Kganyago, alleging that her lack of support from black people could be linked to her vocal backing of Miss SA finalist Chidnma Adetshina, who has Nigerian roots.
One Twitter user wrote, “She should go cry to Nigerians not to us, she knows where her loyalty is,” reflecting a widespread sentiment among critics. Another comment stated, “She must voetsek.
Let people do what they want with their money,” showcasing the financial autonomy individuals prefer to exercise.
The controversy surrounding Kganyago’s statement has opened up further dialogue on consumer support, loyalty, and business sustainability within the black community.
