SA reacts to Sol Phenduka's question about Brazilian transgender
The post gained traction on the microblogging website and sparked a cocktail of reactions. Phenduka’s post ruffled a few feathers, with some netizens reprimanding him. Others answered Phenduka’s question with names of prisons the Brazilian is likely to be sent to.
Here are some of the comments:
@StHonorable said:
“Obviously, she's going to Mordabbee prison. Most of the mules who are arrested at OR Tambo go there. It's only those who were born women who go to Sun City Female prison.”
@TheeOssy_Oswald reprimanded:
“Ok, now that is undertones of being transphobic, Sol. Remember, you live with transgender people in SA.”
@Modise_Ntlou criticised:
“Naah, it didn't land. The whole point is, punch lines must be quick and easy to catch, but we move ❤️”
@MicahDaMusic suggested:
“Lol, they must be sent back to their country. Is there a law that allows criminals from a certain country to be judged by the law of their country of origin, even if they committed a crime in another country? Otherwise, just send them back home.”
@FollowMakhi answered:
“I just checked; they stay in single cells in a female prison.”
@GrandmasterRa_ asked:
“What happened to the drugs that she was with?”
