@PSAFLIVE said:
"Bheki Cele said it was not the responsibility of the police to protect #Sizokuthola's Xolani Khumalo from drug dealers threatening his life, but that of the TV channel he worked for, after the public call that Khumalo needs police protection from drug dealers who had allegedly threatened his life following several exposés on the TV show."
@TomiRikhotso said:
"Xolani is doing his job, he should be endorsing him and giving him and his team all the necessary resources they need, unless he’s disturbing his side hustle."
@_mrthabiso32 said:
"He must receive information of all drug dens and those illegal foreigners hide out places. Youre giving this too much attention. Xolani is doing this country a favour anyways."
@ngaziobos said:
"Crime was already committed before Sizok'thola crew arrived."
@PelisaS
"I am not even surprised that he is saying that. I didn't expect anything from him."
