| 1640383327629725697 | @Newzroom405 @MmusiMaimane So Cele must resign because an inmate escaped from custody of Ronald Lamola's department? I hold no brief for Cele but this really is absurd. Mmusi is losing it. Why is this man with no representation in any sphere of government getting regular media coverage? | 34 |
