Sad indeed

If na my neighbourhood, they go say na cultist. The way south africans get gun and shoot at recognisable individuals is very funny. RIP Meyiwa.

Condolences to Bafana Bafana, South Africa and the whole of Africa.

Don't be surprise if they blame it on Nigerians living in SA. #RIP To The Dead

enemies of progress!na so dem bn tk style kill their reggae star,Lucky Dube in the name of car snatching.

It's high time for SA govt to stop this incesant killing of innocent civilians.

RIP Senzo.

what a world! R.I.P bro

This is so sad

RIP Senzo

RIP SENZO

RIP...This is great loss for South Africa.I need to pay a condolence visit to Zuma

.

I remember this time last year... I was coming from a club in Soweto.
This guys have been following me and all of a sudden they just busted me and ask for my money. I don't go with cash that late and I made a mistake to go out with my phone.

The guy sacked me nicely and deep his hands inside my yansh and prick to make sure I was not hiding anything. Lol.

Well, during the robbery they hit me the pistol they were holding and I got a deep cut on my head.

Its easier for a South Africa to have gun than pure water we see on the street.

Crime here is just unbearable and stupid. They don't steal reasonable things... Maybe phone, money for drugs or beer.

So if someone have an encouter with them just don't argue or struggle thinking the gun might not be loaded.

This people have wasted some many naija lives here than we can even imagine.

Rest in Peace to all the dead.

Its high time we the youths resist our leaders who extorts us. Otherwise we gonna end up being our own slaves.

God bless Nigeria.

RIP
