Sizwe Dhlomo – “I really wish everyone in South Africa was comfortable”

Sizwe Dhlomo sparks debate with tweet wishing comfort for all South Africans

Media personality Sizwe Dhlomo got Mzansi talking after sharing a heartfelt thought on social media.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) over the past weekend, Dhlomo tweeted: “I really wish everyone in our country was comfortable.”

The post, which has already racked up over 120,000 views, struck a chord with many South Africans who shared their own perspectives on the matter.

One user responded by saying, “We deserve more than survival. 🇿🇦❤️” while Nota Baloyi added, “That’s all & it’s possible…”

Another person reflected, “Life can be harsh, and that’s part of its nature. If everyone lived in comfort, life wouldn’t carry the same meaning. Not everyone is meant to experience comfort.”

A concerned netizen pointed out, “And unfortunately Dhlomo, we are very far from that. Over 50% live below the poverty line. It’s so sad to think we are the biggest economy in Africa, but only a few live comfortably.”

Meanwhile, one commenter was more critical, telling the broadcaster, “Share your wealth with few people then!!!”

I really wish everyone in our country was comfortable. 🙏🏽
