"When it comes to anything in this country, just say, OH, shake your head and move on with life. The standards are more than double."

@Janssens2A asked:

"How does this guy still get these gigs with the cloud over his head?"

@Patrick61593939 declared:

"Double standards, my brother, with them South Africans."

@lesiba_keetse defended Arthur:

"Talk about lotto money beneficiaries, etc., not Arthur beating Cici; he never did that; the court found him not guilty because he never laid his hand on her; I attended that court with other GBV groups; Andile Galeshiwe was there; Cici couldn’t prove to the court that Arthur beat her."

@lesiba_keetse added:

"I attended that court case. Arthur never laid his hand on Cici. Google it or search it, and you will see what I am saying; rather say he was dating her whilst she was much younger, which is not a crime; she held into a car reversing and got hurt by the gate, say something else, not that."
