“Dear employees, kindly note that the business has taken every measure to attempt and avoid the liquidation process. Unfortunately, this was an eventuality that could not be avoided not withstanding the measures considered by the business,” the letter as posted by @Am_Blujay reads.
Why a netizen is blaming Chris Brown
A user @Thuso1Africa ignited the debate when he dragged Chris Brown into the liquidation of Drip scandal. He argued that people failed to support their own but would rather spend thousands on a Chris Brown ticket.
"South Africa, a country where tickets for a concert of an American convicted sex offender are sold out in just two hours, but does not support Drip, a local product to a point where the company is liquidated. This is a typical example of unpatriotism, self-hate & self-sabotage."
Mzansi defends Chris Brown
Netizens were not about to fold their arms and watch Chris Brown getting dragged for something he has no hand in.
@matjipe_robert asked:
"South Africans did support that brother most South Africans own a pair or 2. What the hell are you on about?"
@custy_kgadi claimed:
"The same Drip owner has similar behaviour or abusing his wife?"
@lesmorgp said:
"No bra. Don’t gaslight us. You clearly don’t have a grasp of what business is. For one he shouldn’t have bought that Porsche straight out the gate. Did he really need those BEE offices? Did he have to expand without a logistics structure? Don’t gaslight us."
