"#rosemaryndlovu actually thinks she's going to get away with this. She thinks she's smarter than the law professionals handling her court case. This is classic sociopath behaviour and she's also a psychopath."

"#rosemaryndlovu Uright lomama, she just wants us to think she's not normal or right in the head to run from facing her crimes. The justice system must not fail us again please."

"There's too many #rosemaryndlovu in our families net we don't know, others uses witchcraft to eliminate their family members just to claim insurances or take their inheritance..."
