tsabetse_jakavula laughed:

“’Mind your language, Lucas!’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I will remain a South African even in my next life! Kumnandi ukubalapha! It’s nice to be here! 🙌”

“I think I would want to study History in my next life because this is wild 😅🤭😂”

patrick.cockayne responded:

“The only good side to this story is how few people took up the absurd offer. Thirty something. Just as well they go over there … my bet is half of them will try to come back when they realise what a shambles it is there. If they don’t end up in a prison in El Salvador 😵‍💫🤣”

joy_grace_la declared:

“Not going anywhere, I’m here to stay!”
