In the comments section, some commented on whether as part of the Miss South Africa judges panel, this kind of behaviour is acceptable and that this might ruin her reputation. Although there were found it as a joke and did not take seriously as others did.
Body shaming people is not funny.I feel like this statement coming from a judge of the biggest pageant in South Africa is unacceptable and if organizers and sponsors of the pageant don't do anything about it they would be failing young girls who watch and take inspiration from it

Others found it offensive that she can freely skinny shame others especially as a public figure.
You love the attention and the thrill that comes with being dragged, it feeds your ego so much. By the time you awaken to this, you’d be labelled as a mean person and have a lot to unlearn when you can consciously choose to be a decent person everyday. O sele wena. https://t.co/o3LqHI0m8X
