"Riots in Sri Lanka and Mozambique over fuel and food prices. Why is South Africa so patient?"

@Langalibalele_T:

"I wish South Africa was Sri Lanka now here we must listen to Nhlanhla Lux ban the EFF from Soweto and tell us residence of Soweto that Eskom should be privatized and we take such charlatans who joined politics in July 2021 serious?

@ALETTAHA:

"I see Twitter warriors calling for a revolution in #SouthAfrica like the one in Sri Lanka. We really don't have a shortage of stupid in this Country. There is nothing remotely romantic about one. + it quickly takes on a life of it's own where it destroys everything in it's path."
