MIDRAND, South Africa – Zimbabwean content creator Ndoyisile Sibindi who found himself under the crosshairs of South Africans because of his post about the Mall of Africa has now apologised, describing his actions as a joke gone wrong.
In the video that caused all the outrage Sibindi, who is originally from Zimbabwe, expressed his frustrations about people from Tembisa “overcrowding” the Mall of Africa.
“You want to tell me that you guys leave your mall in Tembisa, if there is a mall in Tembisa, to come and overcrowd Mall of Africa? People are just gallivanting and occupying the mall for no reason. It’s so uncomfortable for us who are claustrophobic.”
Sibindi found himself under the attack from South Africans who felt he had no right to be questioning people in their country on where they chose to spend time, considering he is a foreigner.
Some even called for his deportation from South Africa.
In a video posted on his YouTube page, the social media sensation walked back on his remarks.
“This video is mainly to apologise to people from Tembisa who got offended by the video that is currently circulating. First things first, I’m sorry if I offended you, it was not my intention, it was just a joke.
“That video was pre-recorded from my YouTube channel, from a vlog that I posted two weeks ago,” he said in a now-deleted apology video.
The content creator said he recorded the video to let his followers know why he could not vlog at the mall as planned, explaining that it was due to overcrowding.
