In a poignant expression of solidarity, users shared their frustrations, questioning Moja Love's loyalty and decision-making process. Many users highlighted Khumalo's commitment and the risks he undertook in his pursuit of a drug-free South Africa: "Xolani risked his life because of the passion he had. He wanted to stop drug usage. Then you dump him like a piece of nonsense? Letletse metlae lona sies. Are you guys not the ones who briefed him where to go? He doesn't decide about the location of the show. He is just being told what to do and given a script (that script) guides him. Le sele Lona baloyi."

Another comment reflected the sentiment of betrayal felt by many: "You people are so evil. He’s going through this because of your show. How heartless do you people need to be? You could have withdrawn your support without broadcasting it here. Vultures🚮."
