MYKAPTENI May his soul rest in peace 💔

So sad 😞

Gumbilamagwala, Sontshikazi, Mthiya, wen'owathiya ngenkomo abafokazana bethiya ngamahlahla... NDABEZITHA! Lala ngoxolo my brother 🙏

This gang has been terrorizing people for weeks but SAPS are unable to do anything?

Gone too soon, innocent life cut short due to violent crime which is happening every day if not every minute. The government has failed to ensure safety for its citizens. The government has failed to create jobs for it's citizens. The government has failed to solve energy crisis.

This is so fuced up!! 💔

Also two occupants of Avanza got shot dead near Madala hostel in Alex this morning...there's multiple death reports erry damn day in Alex....Alex gotta be cleaned out.

Don't worry, soon Bheki Cele and SAPoliceService will stop such fucked up crimes using tendaaaaa drones that can't even be recharged due to Eskom.

RIP Mthiya

Is South Africa 🇿🇦 becoming a valley of death? The rate of crime is too much.

RIP - We once again call on Bheki Cele to put his struggle credentials to good use. For now they're just shelved somewhere gathering dust.
