Somizi’s lockdown boredom saw him visiting friend and fellow celebrity, Ayanda Thabethe to borrow a book on Tuesday, 19 May 2020. The media personality was quick to notify followers that he did not break any lockdown rules, confirming that he just retrieved the book and left immediately. He stated, “Ps: I didn't get inside I just took the book and left Phela nginazi nina bo Instagram Cele....twitter nkosazana zuma nabo Facebook ramaphosa.... WhatsApp Mkhize ngama judgements.”
The video saw him making his way around Ayanda’s luxurious Johannesburg home, only to be greeted by her Pomeranian pooch, who waited to greet Somizi. “Went to borrow a book to read from my neighbor Ayanda Thabethe, and was met by this cutie at the gate.” Somizi kept his distance as he cutely gushed at the dog, who was equally excited to see him.
Fans of Somizi were amused at his address to the social media police, with many finding it hilarious that he had to clarify. Toby Shwanse stated, “The fact that you must say you didn’t go inside. Ha! These people will come for you if you breathe too heavy during lockdown!”.
