“I’m so sorry, my angel, I hope you get better soon ❤️❤️❤️”

Nombusomathaba shared:

“I hopped onto her Instagram Live this morning as soon as it began. 💔💔 I saw someone hurting, confused. Sne🙏🏾 may you recover. Unkulunkulu ukhona and He will never forsake you. Fight, and be strong! We are rooting for you! #justiceforSne”

pappywilliamjames advised:

“She needs to leave that relationship before it’s too late. No matter how much he loves her or she loves him. Please 🙏 life has no duplicates run and never look back 👏”

cultureisdead2024 criticised:

“There are two sides to the story and the truth. What he did is completely unacceptable, but it’s time you also own your part, Sne. Arson (burning a car) is not a light crime and could have caused bodily harm to those around. You also need to take ownership of the part you played in this story. It never gives the right for a man to raise his hand to a woman, but you told the story as if you had never done anything malicious towards him, which clearly isn’t the case.”
