ntwaagae This is very cruel, people can be so evil, why this?

ntwaagae What goes around comes back around, the result is coming and is it not so far. Broke what law We were born wit so much hate for any foreign black person at the extend that soon we will be asking for a breathing fee because then they are not allowed to breath our oxygen, neh!!

ntwaagae Absolute barbaric action. I am sure Bheki Cele doesn't care at all. Instead of going after the criminals, drug dealers, after the corrupt ANC politicians and the corrupt Home affairs and border officials who let illegal people into the country - the criminals burnt a market.

ntwaagae They were not supposed to be at that market. They are breaking the law.
