Sol Phenduka Roasted For ‘Cat Matlala Copycat’ Look At Kabza’s Birthday Bash

Sol Phenduka caused a stir after posting his outfit for Kabza De Small’s 33rd birthday celebration.

The media personality rocked a purple suit jacket, black shirt, black trousers and a bow tie, captioning his look with a simple: “Okay let’s go.”
But the streets of X were not letting him go anywhere quietly.

Sol Phenduka Steps Out And The Internet Steps In

Almost immediately, users spotted the resemblance between Sol’s outfit and Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala’s now-infamous purple jacket from his courtroom appearance.

Before long, Sol was trending — for all the comedic reasons.

Fashion Roast of the Day

X users unleashed their critiques:

• “I don’t get why he would wear a black bow tie with a black shirt. He always dresses like a kid going to crèche — this time he was going to a graduation ceremony.”
• “You look like a detective that’s a DJ.”
• “Sol watched Cat Matlala in court once and said ‘Yup, that’s the one.’”

Some fans stepped in to defend him:
“The suit looks good. A gentleman.”

Others reminded critics that fashion is subjective — and confidence is the real accessory.

Despite the jokes and comparisons, Sol’s look definitely got people talking — and in South Africa, that’s half the battle won.
