“We just learned of the terrible occurrence this morning where several ladies in our nation were abused.
“We have instructed the minister of police and law enforcement authorities to get started on this right away in order to make sure that the criminals are caught and dealt with. We are investigating this terrible occurrence, and Comrade Bheki Cele has already been there.
said Ramaphosa.
Although it hasn’t been confirmed, on Friday there were rumors regarding the music video and whether it was really the one from the Mphemphe Music Video Shoot that was scheduled for Saturday in Krugersdorp.
The general people was encouraged to participate in the music video and to dress colorfully.
