Dr Musa Mthombeni, South Africa’s popular doctor and media personality, recently made headlines after sharing a humorous and affectionate Instagram post while his wife, Liesl Laurie, was on a trip to Paris. The post mimicked a “missing person” poster, featuring Liesl’s photo with the caption: “Missing... you so much.”

In a playful tone, Musa described her as “gorgeous and dangerous” and offered a fictional reward of R100 million for her safe return, naming himself as the contact person. The creative post quickly sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms.

Public Reaction: Love or Overdoing It?

While many fans praised Musa’s romantic gesture, a large number of social media users especially men on X (formerly Twitter) mocked him for being “too affectionate” and “doing too much.” Labels like “simp” and “cringe” trended alongside his name, reigniting debates about the appropriateness of public displays of affection, particularly from men.

This backlash is not new for Musa. He has frequently shared heartfelt tributes to Liesl, including celebrating “monthiversaries” and writing emotional captions, which consistently spark divided opinions online.

Toxic Masculinity and Emotional Expression

The repeated ridicule Musa faces highlights a deeper societal issue: discomfort with men openly expressing love and vulnerability. In many cultures, traditional masculinity discourages men from showing emotions or affectionate behavior publicly. Musa’s unapologetic love challenges these norms and invites conversations about what healthy masculinity should look like today.

Why Musa’s Public Affection Matters

Dr Musa Mthombeni is more than just a social media figure; he represents a new wave of men breaking away from restrictive gender norms. His visible, heartfelt love for Liesl Laurie sets an example of vulnerability and emotional openness that many find refreshing and inspiring.

Conclusion: Is Public Affection Still Taboo?

Dr Musa’s viral post reminds us that loving loudly is still controversial for some but for others, it’s a breath of fresh air. Whether you think he’s overdoing it or simply being authentic, his story opens important discussions about love, masculinity, and social expectations.
