@Waylonjunior asked:

“Sometimes it feels like justice in this country has a price tag. They must be found and arrested, yes, but who will make sure they stay behind bars? Too many times, our system fails the innocent and protects the wicked.”

@iamClement_ZA said:

“R250k, they will be released on bail and the case will be postponed until 2045 😩 Just save your money bro.”

@WhoIsXMane suggested:

“But it's easy to find them because I saw somewhere saying these were offered 10K drinks, then refused to cooperate after. The buyer killed them for that. Find those cameras, arrest that killer.”

@fenyane_ critiqued:

“Six people were killed in Bronkhorstspruit; unfortunately, such a reward was never mentioned.”
