@wittyphd shared:

"Jail must be nice; these brothers have gained weight since their arrest."

@victimsync01 argued:

"This will be another complex case. I hope we will get a better judge like the one on Senzo Meyiwa's case. And if possible I wish it could be headed by atleast three judges to neutralise the biassness if there might be any. They surely will take more than 5 years to reach a verdict."

@TheeCityzen added:

"If Mkhwanazi was in charge of KZN. These guys would be next to A.K.A right now. But ke."
