"Zimbos with fake SA IDs, when the families go and claim the dead bodies, we will then know who these 2 people are."
@MMargay36080 asked:
"Why are these South Africans who break the law in Zimbabwe always nameless and faceless?
@RBRBALOYI commented:
"Many of them kill our people here, and you would never post such! A bunch of useless puns with no real brain for addressing serious issues in our country! Home Affairs gave them those passports with R50, and now they are called SAns, it's Zimbabweans. Nothing in Zim to rob."
@Tusani_Ngiba replied:
"It serves them right."
@DeLunso responded:
"All these minions talking about Zimbabwe as a trash country, fix your immigration policy because if you come here illegally or as an armed robber, you will face real resistance if the law. And if you are an armed robber, you will die here."
