South Africans roast Nkosi
Netizens on social media took multiple jabs at Nkosi while others celebrated his arrest.
NaDima, NoHlengiwe joked:
“The man appeared at Madlanga and still kept incriminating documents, guns, and money in his house? I bet his witch doctor told him that they would be invisible should the police come knocking.”
Siyakhula was stunned.
“Iyhooo! Hayi, Fannie was fully armed and prepared to defend himself if attacked. One gun under the mattress, one under the bed, one in the car, and four in a safe!”
Bhekzin Mabele said:
“To live a criminal life is very hard. You need to have guns scattered all over the house for easy reach during an attack.”
Ntshunxeko.Inc remarked:
“Beautiful things are happening. What Lord Mkhwanazi did is beyond comprehension.”
The Seed Ya MuChangane said:
“The guy was ready to fight mo. He probably slept with one eye open!”
Abdenego did not agree with the state’s case.
“Nonsense charges. So they got a search warrant because they wanted to inspect how he secured his guns. And the magistrates are not granting him bail? This is nonsense.”
Mpondo was shook.
“Tjoo, what is he doing with so many guns? I know that you can only use one gun at a time. Unless you are Rambo.”
IG: Mmabathomash observed:
“That stun grenade gave it away. I know this had something to do with CIT heists.”
