Thusi commented on the Instagram post saying: “What the f**k” and then sent a direct message to De Wet’s account taking him to task.

Among other things, Thusi said the gym owner must educate themselves, that if black people were still struggling, it was not possible for all lives to matter.

De Wet replied: “ha ha ha. You are a joke. All lives matter to me… doesn’t matter what colour you are… end of story.”

Thusi did not understand why she was insulted.
