“I now understand why he joined EFF. All rejects and crooks will join the cult.”

Mandla pointed out:

“Weeks after joining the EFF. Makes sense. When ANC speaks about spies during apartheid, they must look in the mirror. They’re all spies.”

Prince Shabazz exclaimed:

“No wonder he joined the EFF. He’s looking for political protection. Soon he will be joining the “politically motivated” chorus.”

What I know I don’t remember added:

“This is the classic case of politically motivated. The crime happened in 2017 while a staunch member of the ANC only to investigate him 6 years later immediately after he dumps the ANC.”
