Why blogger XtianDela was slammed by South Africans on Twitter
Popular Kenyan blogger XtianDela learned the hard way the folly of pretending to be familiar to South Africans on Twitter.
He thought they know him, only to slammed hard for his assumption.
The blogger had in a tweet on Saturday informed his followers in Kenya, and presumably South Africa, that he will be visiting the country this month.
“South Africa, your boy is coming,” tweeted the XtianDela.
His second tweet suggested that the Mzansi people are “desperate” for his presence in their country.
“South Africa! For those crying and asking me when I will be out there. Don’t worry your boy will be there on the 26th of October,” tweeted XtianDela.
Here are some of the responses from netizens.

Some threw shade at his name, saying they do not know how to pronounced it.
We don’t even know how to pronounce your handle, is the “x” silent?
