Another Twitter user Lona Mbeki said : “I already saw a few people alleging that his conduct is “unprofessional” blah blah blah. My worry is these ridiculous thoughts/concerns being taken to HPCSA as some suggested and the next thing we know the good Dr is in hot water,” she said.
Another Twitter nanagirl said: “Eyi nami ngiyavuma. I am so hurt by the hate this guy is getting. Izinhliziyo zabantu lana ziyangikhubaza shame. I then get hurt by the fact that we as black people will never, ever, Not look down on each other. We will never want the best for each other. I am so disappointed,” she said.
One critic Ronny Mhlanga said he suspects the doctor was smart at school. “I’m not judging but if this guy is a professional Doctor I bet he finished his qualification after 10 years with a couple of fails, re-writes and threatening lectures,” he said. https://twitter.com/RonnyMhlanga/status/1631898415108964352?s=20
Lebo Mdhuli believes that dressing can be leading and people must not judge other based on their dressing. “You people are scammed daily by people wearing suites and shit, just because you assume there’s a certain dress code for educated or knowledgeable people. Dr. Qwabe is breaking the stereotype and changing the narrative,” she said.
