Mzansi Calls Out Eastern Cape Celebrities for Lack of Support
Fans have expressed disappointment over the lack of Eastern Cape-based celebrities publicly supporting Uyanda compared to Sweet Guluva, another contestant who has received endorsements from well-known figures. Recently, celebrities like Ngizwe Mchunu have thrown their support behind Sweet Guluva, with Mchunu even suggesting that he should pay lobola for Ashley Ogle.
Uyanda Hlangabezo, a teacher from Gqeberha, has shared during his diary sessions that one of his biggest aspirations is to fund transportation for students who walk long distances to school.
Social Media Reactions
Fans have taken to social media to express their unwavering support for Uyanda:
- @LaSource1234: “Guys, please VOTE UYANDA! There’s no confirmed winner yet! Voting lines are still open for a reason! PLEASE VOTE FOR UYANDA!”
- @BoitumeloThom12: “In all my years watching the show, this is the first time I’m willing to donate towards gifts for someone.”
- @Noyise43894539: “It makes sense that Uyanda wins. Yes, Guluva is my fave, but The Teacher has to win.”
- @BrunoSigwela: “My people are showing so much love for Uyanda on Facebook. I really hope they are actually VOTING for uMnqoma.”
- @thandekakay: “As a Zulu girl born and bred in KwaZulu-Natal, I’m proud to say I’m voting for Uyanda. He deserves the money more—no ships, no unnecessary drama, just pure competition. He delivered, hands down.”
- @mpho_khumalo1: “I’m starting to think this Sweet Guluva hype from celebs is a paid promo. Uyanda is just a teacher from Ezilalini who probably can’t afford that. He truly needs our genuine votes.”
