Sizwe Dhlomo snubs Lasizwe's 'Awkward Dates' invite
Radio personality Sizwe Dhlomo sparked mixed reactions after declining Lasizwe's invite to appear on his Awkward Dates YouTube show.
Lasizwe took a chance and invited Sizwe after a fan expressed interest in seeing him on the show.
Turning Lasizwe down, the Kaya FM presenter said he does not do interviews.
He added: 'Good show though. If ever I have something to promote one day, I'll hit you up. Keep up the good work.'
Sizwe instead suggested that Lasizwe come to his workplace to shadow him for a week.
'Don't bring cameras, but you can shadow me for a full week. I'll give you a breakdown of how to move in the game. That's if you'll find that kind of info useful. Your choice,' Sizwe tweeted.
Sizwe's suggestion did not sit well with some netizens, who found it condescending and arrogant.
Others, however, said this would be a great opportunity for Lasizwe. Here are a few reactions from X:
