Was the court going to go on after hours until the early hours of the next day?If professionalism was applied y didn't thy wait for wrap up of the day n execute their responsibility bcos at that moment they knew wr he was?ALL WHAT HAPPENED IS CLEAR ABUSE OF POWER N INTIMIDATION

Twitter doesn't care about facts, once a dominant narrative has been laid out. Last year a woman was killed for 'practicing witchcraft' in Soweto. Warnings that she might be mentally ill were drowned by the WRONG dominant Twitter narrative. Truth: she was mentally ill not a witch

Mxm

The fact that people are more worried about the arrest and not the fact that a whole lawyer is accused of assaulting a female police officer is proof that we're living in a country of hypocrites when it comes to matters of GBV.

That's bullsh*t remember it was live the guy was cool as a cucumber the only thing he did was ask why they were arresting him which is within his constitutional rights but those matriculants don't seem to know how to do their jobs
