"Remember she was driving under the influence of alcohol in 2017, her husband came in and took a wrap for her. Now that they've separated, and Afriforum wants her prosecuted for the murder of 2 people that died a day after the accident. Could be that case."

"That's why I understood people who said South Africans are lazy... Look at her taking her work home... talk about dedication."
