Social media users react to video of drunken soldier

@AdvisorMbi:

"Surely there must be staff well-being services he can access at work. He is not doing himself any favour. We all go through challenges in life and how you respond to such is very important."

@TsonoM:

"Just like that, he loses his job. Whoever recorded this did country duty."

@Mapudi13:

"People go through a lot on a personal level. They should start looking into only wearing uniforms only when they arrive at work and remove them when leaving work premises. So it doesn’t reflect on work."

@koko_matshela:

"At the same time, there is a need to understand the working conditions and life issues they go through. In my thinking, there is the absence of acquaintance to behavioural understanding looking at the state of affairs in that discipline."
