@Dee_Mang โWhere was this organization when the country cried Justice for Cwecwe?๐ข๐ข It helps to have political connections in SA. Not that I support what MacG said, but really! Minnie can afford legal fees to sue MacG. Anc Comdrades like wasting state resources.โ
@Modipadi Desiree Mashabela โWe demanded Justice for Cwecwe, and they said nothing; now ba drag Macg?? Wow, it must be nice being some people๐ข๐ข๐ขโ
@Favor Blessings Selepe โPerhaps it will serve as a lesson to other narcissists to start respecting women๐โ
