Mzansi celebrities and citizens are certainly not impressed with how some get let off the hook with no punishment. Over the weekend, a number of beachgoers flocked beaches in Cape Town, calling for the ban to be lifted.

One of them went for a swim in the ocean and this outraged quite a few celebrities because he got away with it with no repercussions

"White people at the Cape Town beaches have money for very good lawyers. If the police disperse them using force, pepper spray or violence, they will sue police and they will win," he said.

DJ Warras then spoke about how some black people are not armed with the knowledge to know this and it puts them at a disadvantage.

Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo also reacted and said that she was shocked at how the police took their sweet time in dispersing white Cape Town protestors who wanted to go to the beach during the lockdown.
