"Not that I’m on Minkie’s side but Tsiki Tsiki was so mean to her. He really treated her like trash. She shouldn’t have killed him, but I can understand where all that rage came from."

@xoli_s said:

"DiMinkies though. What did you do? Not Tsiki Tsiki. This honestly goes to show how obsessed and toxic some relationships can be and the end results."

"When she held that knife and was venting to TsikiTsiki. He could have calmed her down and told her comforting words, but he kept provoking her when he was in danger. I am pissed nje. Why did he have to die?

@MashwauSuccess said:

"She deserved that treatment. I mean she always allowed him back knowing how bad he treats her."

@hlogi_t replied:

"I was telling my cousin that she’s should never be proud of someone being obsessed with her because that’s how people get killed and the reason for high GBV cases."
