Mzansi Expresses Disgust
Social media users expressed their disapproval of the siblings’ marriage.
Sbu:
“The problem with this inbreeding is the lack of genetic variation that happens in the kids, so if there are any genetic shortcomings in the family (which there always are), the kids will get the worst of that. Seeing that the parents are already too dumb to understand this, the kids are fxcked.”
Ndebele:
“More Skomotas are on the way then. There is no child of theirs that will be normal.”
Sebata:
“I hope the guy didn’t know from the onset and that the share a father but not a mother. I just hope so🙏”
