Reacting to the news, social media users cracked jokes about this. Some questioned Melany and Peet’s move, while others claimed that the Durban housewife simply does not have it.

“Suing Nonku for R15M is funny, honestly, because she doesn’t have it.”
@Ihhashi_Turkei
“Manje, where will Nonku get that 15m when they themselves can’t repay the people who were allegedly scammed by the Tammy Taylor franchise.”
@slushjam claimed:
“They are looking for money these ones cause Mel goes with a recording device which records people’s conversations, so tell me which normal person does that.”
@wendysburnbook alleged:
“I’m actually starting to believe these two make their money from scamming and not the salons. Allegedly.”
@bee_officiall asked:
“R15 million for what? His wife must kiss her reality TV show career. No production will call her after this.”
@Bright_Afrika stated:
“Their marriage is weird anyway. There’s something wrong with them. Mel can’t even have a proper conversation with the other ladies, and her arguments are weak. Her Temmy Tailor explanation was trash.”
