"I was expecting to see one with the dreadlocks as previously stated. I hope they do not bungle this case like Senzo's case. Cause it all started with desperation to arrest."

@Kat_let_g0 stated:

"Who is this Majola? Can we please get some background info? How is he linked to the building? What other businesses does he have or engage in?"

@StarJay_23 questioned:

"Should we be worried that the charges for the other guy are provisionally withdrawn?"

@joy_zelda said:

"This is not the guy who shot and killed Warrick Stock. The guy seen in the CCTV Footage had Dreadlocks on his head. Why are the SAPS messing up the case of DJ Warras now? Victor Mthethwa Majola does not have Dreadlocks, please."
