“The only thing left now is to bring our land back by force, we are not coward, the government failed to bring the land back to its owners.”
@ProfMahlangu said:
“Dr Ndlozi I noticed the same yesterday when I couldn’t find a tin of beans. What was more NB was that the rich buys toilet paper a lot, both tissue and printing paper was gone.”
@TsietsiMaseka said:
“What's your point because you don't see anything wrong in the looting?”
@Foremanshingang said:
“You have not condemned looting now you condemn buying aai!!.”
@SidimaMM said:
“At face value, this makes sense. I.e. If looters simply "took without paying". The issue is that looters destroy and burn buildings, trucks and other properties. Thereby killing jobs and people's livelihoods. Therefore, the two can never be the same....”
@SithaleKgaogelo said:
“People are panic buying because they are hungry. You should have given that advice to the looters.”
@BiancavanWyk16 said:
“Panic buying is selfish, stupid, short-sighted and a luxury very few can afford. But is it looting?”

“Huh? It's not the same? It is wrong, but not the same. Soon you going to say it's the same as stealing VBS money.”
