"No, we don’t provoke people, and when they retaliate, we call them economically powerful. We all have feelings, their kids were probably bullied for this at schools, and might have affected their performance. Let’s consider that also, not everything is about power."

@AltonNdlovu13 added:

"I think the bigger problem is the constitution. The Roman-Dutch law that we embrace that is against us in favour of the economically powerful."

@Joy_Zelda said:

"It's an age-old known secret. Money talks, and bulls* walks. Always has been and always will be."

@_KatlegoSemusa added:

"There’s justice for the rich, or politically connected, and then there’s justice for the poor or average individual, yet we’re told 'Justice for all'."

@AltonNdlovu13 argued:

"Not one day Ntsiks, think that conversation is long overdue. It should've been dissected yesterday."

@Boreka89 added:

"The biggest lie you ever believed is that 'The Law treats all equally'. By default, the law is meant to protect the rich from the poor!"
