Here’s what TikTokers had to say about the video:
“MaMkhize wasn’t supposed to move the team from Bloemfontein if she [the] needed support of Bloemfontein. They loved that club,” wrote @thokzin893.
“I’m a Chiefs fan but I miss Bloemfontein Celtics manje,” wrote @wandilemchunu01.
“Buying Celtics was not a problem but why did she take it away and change the name of one of the most supported teams in the country.”
“She should’ve left the team in Bloemfontein, she’d be the queen of Celtics now.”
