Sad to hear, abogogo bethu must now carry firearms. Bheki Cele must resign he failed to protect our kids, our sisters, our mothers and our grannies.

These comments are callous ... the fact that she owned a firearm is as the result of the country's high crime rate. Nonsense comments instead of sending her well-wishes 🙄

Ugogo ubene Firearm Gogo is a VIP. She's supposed to have bodyguard

Shameful

Must check the grand grandchildren...

Shuu, I was never ready for the 'her firearm' part. Madoda sengaze sidlulwe ngo gogo?

I don't think she was fit to own and carry a firearm.

So she had a Gun 😯🙏🤗 imbokodo Yoqobo
