Briefly.co.za reported a farmer and trainee sangoma, Fritz "Majeke" Joubert murdered a 40-year-old traditional healer, Anele Hoyana, and held his wife and children hostage on Saturday.

The crime sent shock-waves through Mzansi and social media users reacted to the death of both Joubert and Hoyana.

One of the people who reacted to the senseless killing of Hoyana was EFF leader Julius Malema. Juju and his party previously threw shade at the Boks #RWC2019, calling it fake unity.

In his reaction to Hoyana's death, Malema once again referred to the so-called "unity" and added that the majority are on their own.

Malema captioned the post:

”'United South Africa', Black child, you're on your own."

Tweeps agreed with Malema, adding he was right all along.

Twitter user, @Meikie93728639, commented:

"There is no "rainbow nation"! Wake-up!"

Ntae makeka, who goes by the Twitter handle @NtaeMakeka, added:

"Our government sold us to white people. That's why they don't have respect for us. They can do anything they want. This fight won't end."

However, there were those who disagreed with Malema, adding that not all white people are racist killers.
