    If only our government could see the good in this..Quite frankly this would have been the most beautiful thing ever to walk into the union buildings and see the Khoisan houses inside the buildings it would bring more tourists i’m telling you…Just fix them up nicely and let them be. Not fight them and surely the president just had to listen to their cry for help not arrest them hawu.

    The moral of the story is, don’t mess with people’s weed.

    That was an act of spiritual genocide! And all that for a plant? Leave people and their plants alone. They have a spiritual connection that the cop pig can’t understand.



  19. SpookieMC on October 12, 2022 at 7:09 am

    I should have opened that case against the 4 cops for locking me up for no reason not even drunk nothing i was on my way home and got abused by cops 4 colored cops.

  37. Rohan Clarke on October 12, 2022 at 7:25 am

    Why in today’s world are they so against Marijuana but so with opioids. Opioids and alcohol have killed so many. The pharmaceutical industry narrows theirs down to suicide and not just overdose because they put instructions on the bottles. They need to document these death as what they really are. With alcohol they narrow it down as just accidents and not that these things are very harmful an addictive.



  38. Mr. Mister on October 12, 2022 at 7:27 am

    Idk maybe I’m just childish but something about seeing an indigenous guy in a loin cloth thong with a cell phone to his ear brings a smile to my face

  49. Bryan Phoenix on October 12, 2022 at 7:41 am

    They would never treat a "king" from the nguni-tribes like this. Maybe because the black majority doesn’t consider the San and Khoi people as indigenous.



  50. Silulu Alama on October 12, 2022 at 7:42 am

    Weed or Pot for the sake of just GETTING HIGH as a KITE, isn’t by far an African thing.. It originated from ASIA.. These people are acting it’s from the Mother land…LOL.. excuses excuses
