"Nna, I was surprised when people were worshipping and cheering for their Lord, Gayton. Here in Bloem, we know Gayton has been a racist. He doesn't help black communities, only helps coloureds and white peeps."

@Lungelo_Madiya said:

"But bro, it was obvious from the beginning that this guy was not the right one to vote for. I remember clearly when you spoke about supporting him on the podcast. I was so disappointed by your decision, knowing how smart and articulate you are. But anyway, I still respect you 👊🏽."
