"If you're corrupt and you're a killer, you are probably not sleeping well these days. What's done in the dark will come to light."

@Its_Otee mentioned:

"Thanks to the greatest press briefing ever delivered by arguably the greatest police figure in the democratic SA! General Mkhwanazi will always have my utmost respect."

@NK_Vilakazi stated:

"Katiso Molefe should be made a key state witness and placed in witness protection immediately."
