The clip, filmed on 13 July 2026, zoomed in on Tshuma's face, capturing what many described as a sombre, tearful expression. The caption on the post read, "A broken man, his face says it all."

Sol had a swift and pointed response: "Broken but alive, unlike his wife and children."

Who is Ndodana Tshuma?

Tshuma is a British citizen who is wanted in the United Kingdom in connection with the murders of his wife and children. After allegedly committing the crimes, he fled to South Africa, where he was tracked down and arrested by Johannesburg police. He is currently being held in the country while authorities work through the extradition process back to the UK.

His first appearance at the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court drew significant public attention. During the proceedings, the state requested a postponement to confirm Tshuma's immigration status within South Africa. His case was delayed until 22 July 2026. Notably, while the UK wants him for murder, the domestic charges he faces in South Africa relate to possession of an illegal firearm.

Mzansi reacts to Sol Phenduka's Post

Sol's candid response struck a chord with many South Africans, who flooded the comments section with their own sharp takes. It is not the first time Sol has weighed in on a sensitive social matter; he recently expressed disbelief after reports emerged that a police officer had killed another man over chicken gizzards. This time, the reactions to both the case and Sol's comment were equally blunt.
