Mzansi Reacts: Alibi Raises Questions

This revelation stirred a variety of responses on X. Some users found his explanation lacking in credibility, expressing their scepticism through comments such as:

@Dijosti:

He should have simply said that he was on a solo dinner date but wasn’t impressed with the menu and ended sitting alone for hours and not ordering anything hoping that the menu would change. That would have been a very innovative lie.

@KingLeoDa1st:

Man’s got stood up by his date, next day got paid boma 100k then ended on trial hai it’s a movie

@Nongqiza77:

Lol this feels like excuses your kids come up with when you caught them stealing sugar🤣🤣🤣

@shez_nay:

On a date? He heard gunshots outside, wasn’t even fazed.. never moved a muscle when the shooting happened according to cctv. Also gets paid R133k the following day? Mxm who’s fooling who.

@Nino_Gaggi_:

A blind date hey, because the woman would never surface to collaborate his alibi. How convenient.
