Following the announcement, Sizwe took to Twitter to thank fans and friends for their words of support and encouragement.

I feel it, I see it. Thank you.”
Sizwe also teased fans by mentioning Bonang Matheba in one of his tweets which stated, “Shoutout to @bonang_m! The streets aren’t ready for what’s coming next huh?”, to which Bonang responded with, “*a cultural reset loading*”. The tweet-exchange led to many suspecting that Bonang could be co-hosting the show at some point.
