Boring

He must proceed with his threats

Is that the untouchable mother fuxcker who thinks judges are just mear men In ropes

J. J.. Do you remember R500K Malema had to pay Trevor Manuel.. Just asking 🤔🤔

One of the best ways to prove the truth is to have it tested in the court of law. Azishe ke!!!

He is Cope founder why is he fighting, bloody agent.

So it dropped from 500k to 100k.

J.J Tabane jumped ship from anc to cope when it was formed Trevor must take a chill pill he will be exposed with others of coarse.

Thought Travor Manuel doesn't trust the justice system cause of some useless judges wearing robes.

We agree and did ask JJTabane to present facts live of 'Power of Truth' but he has not responded! Show us the facts eNCA

I’m with JJ where there’s smoke there’s fire!
