However, it seems that no matter how hard you try to do the right thing, some people will always find a reason to be negative. Some people have taken to social media to ask why Thando used celebrities (including Denise Zimba, Manaka Ranakana, and Dineo Moeketsi) with make-up, instead or using real abuse victims, with real scars. They feel that the message would have be more powerful that way.
In response to the haters, Somizi wrote the following on Instagram. Well done, sir!
