SA weighs in on Sizwe Dhlomo's post

South Africans echoed the same sentiments with Sizwe Dhlomo. However, others noted that Mchunu will not be suspended or fired due to the corruption in this country. Some fans even suggested the President is protecting Mchunu, despite the several calls for his arrest.

@Zani_Baccaria said:

"The president was supposed to temporarily suspend him for further investigations instead he makes excuses and blames Mkhwanazi's actions."

@JoshuaRamoshaba commented:

"If you suggest to a government official in this country to "voluntarily" step aside, they may as well slap across your face with a lawsuit. Our justice system seems to be on the payroll of these rogue syndicates. That's why it looks easy for corrupt officials to win in courts."

"They will keep him... And upgrade security for all Parliament members who feel unsafe... Using your taxes."

@Mfanakagogo13 said:

"No one steps aside since they voted not to probe Phala Phala."

@JayHektic added:

"The president must act. The sooner the better."

@CodyMpumzi said:

"You really think these people have integrity? Even if he were to be sentenced in court, he will blame forces that are using Gen. Mkwanazi or some WMC."
