  1. Ee ikhurumetse ka ditlhong sematla.. Rona maAfrika Borwa dulang kwano, waya waya, ga re ye overseas unless re na le madi.. E seng tsholofelo le ditoro tsa ga Zuma

  2. I blame the government of South Africa they are really failing us, we need jobs that's why we end up falling in traps all because we were seeking employment, Ramaphosa please create Job's for South Africans citizens.

  3. Lifetime lessons there! If they have never exercised in their lives, they almost died. From being inactive to the frontline. They might as well be hired as part of defense force
