Amaphixiphixi enu of the soCalled movements for the people EFFSouthAfrica and MYANC have chosen themselves above the law and other people as fools trading Stellarated freedom for a envelope than justice. Even after a man died and his kids injured shot. JuliusMustFall Zuma
Naye iholo lakhe lizobanjwa kancane or kuya ngokuthi ungubani?
This 🇿🇦government is arresting innocent people who are doing good things and helping the poor which they can’t do , but you can’t catch the bad buys looting the liquor stores .mxm .....😡you make my blood boil🤞🏾stop been selfish people are starving out there
Fokof 🚮😠
Kahle Wena!!
The government officials are a joke
This thing is not about violating lockdown regulation 😳something is fishing here ,how u can arrest someone who is giving the food to the poor people during this time
No pay for him.👌👌👌
LesetjaRamakg Why is it then so difficult to arrest Minister Ndabeni-Abrahams and Cde Manana?
He is going to court on the 19 May.. who took that decision
GardeeGodrich When are .Stellarated and .MbalulaFikile getting arrested? And somizi They are all criminals and must be prosecuted
This is crazy. They were trying to hand out food to help those that are struggling with no income over this time. If a crowd gathered then it would've been far more beneficial for the police to monitor the crowd to ensure social distancing, rather than arrest those trying to help
That's nonsense what's the difference between people going to malls and buying food for themselves and Ministers giving parcels?
did EFF called him to be fired same way they called for Ndabeni?
GardeeGodrich Should’ve done the same with Comms Minister
Then Stella Ndabeni-Abraham's was suspended 2 months why?
Do those who paid 1500 which was an admission of guilt know that they will remain with criminal records on their name for the next 10years
Foolish
DKB20 No one was arrested when the ANC was giving away food parcels to poor people, instead they get applause as carrying government. But when IFP meyor helping people from his constituency, he was arrested what is different between ANC and Verwoerd era?
Don't provoke the people of that province otherwise this lockdown won't end well ' treat them with respect like others.
Again?
Let them apologize to the president and cawntry and be sent home..finish and klaar
Levels, they are not parliamentary personnel 🙆♀️ nothing equal about the cawntries regulations. Some can apologise and some can't.
What's a bet he's not an MYANC mayor
GenBheki_Cele When are you going to arrest Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams Stellarated ? Apologizing isn't the part of the lockdown regulations violation punishment. Don't be biased honorable minister.
That's good what about MbalulaFikile and Stellarated they also violated Regulations and they must be arrested SAPoliceService CyrilRamaphosa SANDFCorpEvents sabcnews CoronavirusInSA LockdownSAExtended Democracy Equality Ekse myvoicemysafety crimemustfall
So they are going to charge them like the other citizens or they'll suspend them for 2 months and do public apology like Stellarated If they are arrested, Stellarated must be arrested too WeAreEqualBeforeLaw covid19Regulations lockDownSouthAfrica

Kunzima Uma kukhona ukungathobeli umthetho ezikhulwini thina singotembuzane senzenjani

Obvious thats not anc mayor. Voters will issue a verdict in the next local elections.

He deserves to be arrested.
KZN people had a problem first it was Lindiwe Zulu, 2 Stella Abrahams and now the mayor

Because it's Nkandla... 🤔This vindictiveness against Zuma is becoming an joke. What a waste of state resources
And Stella yena?
Where else would such start?😏
SABCNewsOnline must not mislead the public. Thami Ntuli was arrested for giving food parcels to poor communities of INkandla. The question is 'who suppose to give poor food if rural communities are negleted by the national authorities?
But ANC people in my town were doing the same yesterday. No one arrested them
Bopha poyisa
Arrested and released on R1000 bail .. that was just nothing
They must Suspend the mayor for two months
Just say Nkandla Mayor... Not KZN Mayor... Nkandla😄😄😄
Oh my look at me 'I am the Mayor you can't do me nothing' arrest them all.
So how will the community members comply to the lockdown rules when their leaders keep on breaking the rules
