    As a woman I find it painful that men are not given a safe space to express themselves, hear them out and correct them(this also gives women an idea that they are always right). Accountability from women?, what do you mean we can’t talk about a knife in a GBV case, because a man is strong. We went from being marginalised to bullying men,innocent men sometimes. We also love to be emotional, Leeroy is an abuser but not in jail, the victim is making a dramatic video for UA-cam let’s be serious.

    Penwell did a great job controlling this episode. Penson’s disposition is draining, I'm exhausted just looking at his body language especially as soon as Lebo and Ursula start speaking. He comes across as hostile and defensive. The exaggerated head tilts are intentional and boring. Lebo van toeka, fearless, unapologetic and extremely intelligent.

    It’s actually disturbing that no one mentioned that Mihlali has a history of violently attacking men, she beat up Musa Khawula and bragged about it. It’s also okay for men to express themselves freely so that we are able to correct them if their sentiments are problematic instead of stopping them before they say anything only for them to have these conversations in private and never being corrected. I think it was very unfortunate that Lebo stopped the conversation in its tracks

How do u call some1 lazy when they fought for what they have? We are the laziest cause we run away from fixing our problems and go to the west. - Retention chooses to remain in the politic sphere of the debate and refusing to look at the issue from and for a lay South A.

    Penuel, I once thought you were an enlightened black South African, you are obviously not. 1. Nigeria has never claimed Amapiano. It was an American artist who tweeted it with Nigerian flag. He corrected by saying Nigerians introduced him to Amapiano. 2. Lets' be real, it was the Nigerians who popularized Amapiano sound. I bet you, if Nigerians stop doing Amapiano, it will become a another Kwaito. I mean, Nigerians can put an end to Amapiano globally, if the chose to because they got the awesome power to do it. 3. The vibes I get from you black South Africans is that you people brag about hating other Africans and Nigerians. You even said Nigerians are know for bad things globally? Lol ... I beg to differ. I think you black South Africans are naively consumed in your own prejudices about Nigeria, and thinking that Nigerians are creating problem globally. Not true. Nigerans are a force to reckon with globally. Nigerians are powerful people globally. 4. I'm pleading with you and your fellow black South Africans. Stop poisoning the hearts and souls of over 300 million Nigerians globally. Nigerians never forgets. Do not push them to retaliate to your hate. They can single-handedly cripple and destroy South African interest globally. Yes they are that powerful. 5. South African image globally is bad. South Africa name invoke hate and xenophobia globally.
