Recently, Lorna Maseko found herself in hot water after expressing her frustration over South African consumers not supporting her product line, which features an array of cookware and cooking sauces.
As a well-known television personality, professional dancer, and chef, her comments raised eyebrows and sparked criticism from many.
Lorna’s Frustration Unveiled
In a TikTok video she shared over the weekend, Lorna didn’t hold back her feelings, stating that she had to “beg” her fellow South Africans for support.
“I don’t understand,” she exclaimed.
“Usually, I sell out my cookware line in America in just an hour or two. I’m talking about hundreds of products flying off the shelves.”
She continued, “But here in South Africa, I have to plead for my sauces. That just doesn’t add up! These are my people. Yet, Americans, who see me as a foreigner, seem to love it. Can someone explain this to me?”
Consumer Responses
As expected, Lorna’s comments didn’t go unnoticed. Many South Africans took to the comments section to voice their opinions, with some expressing confusion over her remarks.
One user pointed out, “To be fair, we didn’t even know you have a cookware line.”
Another suggested, “Maybe invest in marketing or stick to your established market in the US.”
Others questioned whether South Africans were even her target audience.
Mixed Reactions to Her Approach
While some followers offered potential solutions, others criticized her tone.
One comment read, “I have to beg is so wild. How is anyone supposed to support that?”
Another user remarked on her perceived sense of entitlement, stating, “You don’t even engage in the comments. What do you want us to do?”
Despite the backlash, Lorna concluded her video by asking her followers to “help me help you,” looking for constructive feedback on how to improve her situation.
