"I am a whole man living in SA, I don't know why I'm crying over a video... 🥺🥺🥺... Black and white can live together peacefully if given a chance.... THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN LOVE."

@Panneman reminisced:

"I loved my Alina, she worked for me for 24 years, and was like a mother to me as well. I saved up for many years to pay her a pension into a separate account. She retired 2 years ago, happily. Miss her."
