To the more serious.
Me being part of the LGBT community myself, I would have hated it if someone did that, outing me without concent.

And even more serious.

Of course, people wouldn’t be blamed if they thought it was just Ntsiki being Ntsiki. One could look at it from the innocent side: she was probably referring to Akhumzi’s allyship and he was indeed a heterosexual male or the more serious side: her outing someone without their consent especially after their passing. Some people thought it was the latter.
Khona ukba ebeyigay why eteta ngaye ngku angazokwazi ukuzipendulele hayi marn ntsiki yeka uAkhumzi apumle ngoxolo

What do you think was her intention with her ‘wording’ of the tweet? Even if it was open to interpretation, was it right to even plant the seed of possibility in people’s minds about Akhumzi when he couldn’t state facts for himself?
