As mentioned, four-time league winner Gavin Hunt expressed his shock on Twitter and found the showboating to be "horrifying":

Tweeps shared mixed reactions to the moment, with the argument of Kasi Flavour's place in the professional/semi-pro football being split more than ever. 

"What is this nonsense nina? @orlandopirates Are these the standards we've set for our development teams???" said user @_Sir_CharlesR. 

"Let the boys have fun. We need to see this in the PSL too," replied @strAightMARVIN. 

"It's called Kasi Flava, uShukela, it's the reason we go to the stadiums, they won 3-0, 3 points in the bag, they are on top of the log. Why not celebrate the only way they know how? 

"And if their coach is cool with it, who are we to oppose it. Just let the boys be boys hawu," read a tweet from @sazisomzet.

The SuperSport United boss also reacted to another showboating moment in the Diski Challenge, curtesy of Royal AM chairman Andile Mpisane this time around:
