Ramadumetja Seolwana asked:

“So he called them over to his house for Christmas just to kill them? Like, don't we have other options to solve issues? We have so many organisations for mental health and public facilities available to help people when they are not coping with issues of life. Unlike killing each other like there is a second chance in life. Once you are gone, you are gone.”

Yaka Dumisa stated:

“Wild animal. So, he was keeping them there until when.”

Tebogo Vincentia Ditsele said:

“Yoh. I had to read it twice. So this guy was living with decomposed bodies. He is an animal, bathong. Condolences to the family. May this beast rot in jail.”

“Some men have zero respect for women. They kill them like they're cows.”

“What happened to humanity? People don't value other people's lives anymore.”
