Most Facebook users disagreed with Ntuli's stance and expressed disappointment at what they called 'cheap stance' by the opposition leader.
Ntuli did not take people's criticism lying down. In her bold reply Ntuli said:
“People are entitled to their opinions. I personally do not feel compelled to justify any action I take that relates to my body to anyone whatsoever, nor do I believe anybody should ever have to,” said Ntuli.

It is not clear as to why Ntuli decided to go nude. In her attempt to justify her actions, she wrote:
“This is why, during these 16 days of activism, when KwaZulu-Natal has some of the highest instances of rape in the world, we should be focusing on how we deal with the crisis and end the cycle of abuse against women and children."
