In response, tweeps were flummoxed, perplexed and downright unserious:
Thankfully, @TheeAzanian and @IstanNeneLeakes both tried to set the record straight, albeit in their own different ways:
*Sigh* Like we said, Mzansi tweeps are a special kind of entity.
A two-faced entity, if you will, and goodness knows which one you’re talking to (or which one is gonna respond!).
