"The police don’t want to help… this is a sabotage against Cyril. What army? Where? Mxm. One big laag."

With such a strong statement on a hot sensitive topic, the social media app's masses briskly responded to JR with a mix of views.

@Palesa_mashinga said:

"Yahlanya wena. Cyril sabotaged himself by allowing white people use him which led to this. Cyril did not give them salary raise but expect police to jump when he says jump. Even police are hungry. While he and his ministers sit in the comfort of their homes."

@NtsikiMR said:

"Bro.. Your comment is the reason why people say artists must stick to art. You thinking Cyril is being sabotaged is the classic example of speaking and thinking from a place of purest comfort. This root and looting is wrong, but it isn't about J Zuma or political sabotage!"

@PhakoeJabulani said:

"Police did get their increase for the past two years, so this is not surprising. They are not motivated. Besides about 20 billion SAPS budget was cut and redirected to VIP protection."
