"Guys, there was a CEO who tried bribing a top journalist with 60K. Municipalities are bhubhahlaring funds. ANC officials are a disappointment! Please talk about important things when we need more voices, not this."
@PortiaP82876 exclaimed:
"To those saying this is not important, so Racism and cyberbullying are not serious things? Use your platform to talk about what you feel are serious things, and let people voice their opinions too! These podcasts are cyberbullying celebrities, and all you do is laugh! They must be held accountable!"
@WhySoTrueThough said:
"That's literally the model for doing big numbers, not quality(rarely). "Say more, apologise later." It's just vibes until someone says something completely out of pocket or downright unhinged & becomes the litmus test for the rest. Word vomiting for clout will take you out of the pan and into the fre oche lore."
@Fuze_ZN asked:
"Lol, y'all kept quiet about corrupt politicians, seniya khuluma manje??"
