"You're calling Daliwonga a basta*d in front of his millions of fans, and you think that is nice coming from a leader? Lead by example, don't be a hooligan baba. Daliwonga has millions of people who love and look up to him, and you are insulting him in public. You will never be the president of this country unless you buy the position, just like your friend, Mr. Big Nose."

@Mabaso614 replied:

"Calling our brother a basta*d? You expect us to respect you as a leader. Surely there is a better way to address your matter. Never say that nonsense to our brother."
