In the comments, several social media users applauded Aubrey Tau for donating the money to the families of the two victims. Some suggested that the money could have been put to good use.
Here are some of the comments:
@Noxza_dube said:
“Commendable, however, it's better to do things for people when they are alive than dead. Young women can benefit from learning that there is more to life than flexing over alcohol with criminals.”
@mduduzi563 argued:
“January is coming, and some really deserving kids will need tertiary entry tuition. Kids who are home at 4 am, sleeping, studying and like the responsible kids they are, should stay away from putting themselves in harm's way. We celebrate and reward nonsense.”
@FootballStage_1 shared:
“What a waste of money.”
@VusiThanga suggested:
“This is a commendable gesture, but I wish similar support had been extended to the young Dlamini twins, who tragically fell into a lift in Durban.”
