"She can send the remaining money into my account is not like she is gonna use it #rosemaryndlovu"
@Batho_Dikobe said:
"She had a permanent job, earning a salary at the end of the month, peanuts or not probably also had a few benefits, medical aid etc.All these were never enough for her, she wanted more and her love for having more got her caught and now she's here #rosemaryndlovu"
@SikhoQha said:
"This #RosemaryNdlovu matter is a typical example of how justice should prevail. The SAPS, P.P and any other investigators have done stellar work."
@Khabisoar said:
"While in prison, the many visits she will be getting will be from journalists and authors. #rosemaryndlovu"
@only_belo said:
"I fail to understand if this lady doesn't understand the seriousness of her actions and the hurt she has caused people because she is cold or if she's giving an act because of the cameras. How can she even during/after trial still don't get the magnitude of her crimes?"
@collenmodikoane said:
"Good, but as in an economic language, there are nominal & real values. In legal terms concorantly, eligibility for parole & the meaning of " life" doesn't necessarily mean that's the real sentence. Though the sentence is welcomed. Hope life means that. #rosemaryndlovu"
