"Nhlanhla Lux, you are fighting someone's else war. This absolutely not your war. People of South Africa are not fighting you or your family, but you are defending the indefensible. People want this government under ANC to address their social issues. Are they wrong?"

"Moving the focus from serious issues of loadshedding to himself."

@FedixM said:

"It’s probably staged to divert attention."

@FixWorld2009 said:

"The way he has been carrying himself lately, he might be the suspect too, just for clout."
