South Africans respond to Rasta's latest painting
Nhlanhla Sjakaja Gumbi replied:
"This is better."
Mathoh Lino responded:
"You have tried. It's not the same please."
Mike Makhathini wrote:
"People of South Africa let us learn to encourage the very good attempts made by those who tried to develop their own talents. Especially in this time where there are no job opportunities. Once we start to clap hands behind those people nobody can stay and be scared to reveal his or her own talent which in turn can become a journey of daily living. Criticize the criticism, discriminate against the discrimination. Thanks, angifundangake ngingahleki ngoba ninjalo (you are not educated, don't laugh because that's what you are used to) but instead correct."
Bhekezakhederrick Ngubane replied:
"Good work Rasta. Very good but some people will criticise only because they heard your haters critisising your work previously."
Wonder Ntozakhe responded:
"Not bad this time around Rasta. He's so talented. Big up Rasta brother."
Knowledge Buthelezi said:
"No, you tried but Rasta here."

Ntobeko Mzimkhulu Mthembu said:
"This is the best paint you've ever done."
SK Ndwandwe replied:
"Well, he tried this time. It shows that he's Don. Not like what he usually does."
Mnumzane T Jama said:
"I think rasta is drawing the dead the way he looks in the coffin not when he is still alive."
