South African Twitter users have weighed in on the drama behind a local doctor, Dr Sandile Qwabe from New Castle KwaZulu-Natal, who doesn’t dress and behave the way “normal” doctors do. The doctor has gained popularity for his pantsula fashion sense and social media profiles showing off his vibrant personality.
The doctor has been trending on Twitter where many locals are debating whether or not his behaviour fits his career — one tweep has pointed out that the doctor is no different from teacher Lulu Menziwa who frequently wears tight clothing and poses naked on Instagram.

A number of tweeps said that they would not trust doctor Qwabe to treat them.

“Dr Qwabe wears his normal clothes clever South Africans complain that it’s inappropriate. A teacher idunusa ku Internet. Y’all say it’s empowering Kodwa niyazbona ninjan msunu yenu,” he wrote.

“Don’t judge a cover by its book. Looks can be deceiving.
We have doctors walking around, neatly dressed in ties, and coats 
yet doing ungodly things to patients in consultation rooms.”
