The post gained traction, and social media users weighed in with mixed reactions. While some believed Musa Khawula, others took Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s side and questioned Khawula’s motives. Others asked Musa to clarify his statement, while others shared jokes and advice.
Here are some of the comments:
@sikie4 said:
“You are not telling the truth now, tell us who’s threatening you 😭😭😭😭”
@kamuhelo6 argued:
“’Big 5’ is not the name of a cartel or an organisation. It is a synonym used by General Khumalo to hint at how organised crime operates. He even said, ‘For now, we will call them the Big 5.’”
@BhekuyiseM31516 advised:
“Don't allow them to involve you in their confusion, Musa. Stick to what you are well known for.”
@FairJoyZA_ asked:
“Who said there was a big five? Whoever said it, are you saying they lied to the entire country?”
@tp_sithole joked:
“The Kruger National Park tends to disagree.”
@azania1023 argued:
“It might not be a big 5 of individuals working together, but a big 5 of people who have committed serious crimes. Whether they know each other or not is a topic for another day.”
@Ghost25442373 highlighted:
“Just because you got one or two accurate stories because someone fed you the information, it doesn’t mean we’ll believe everything you write. We’re not that gullible.”
@Mzi_Zo claimed:
“After this nonsense, his followers dropped from 296k to 293k. Don’t mess with South Africans, wena.”
@Khensi_20 asked:
“How much did they pay you? 😭😭😭😭😭😭”
