Instant backlash

She was instantly slammed by people who don’t understand why everyone is trying to help a thief. Many are now arguing that this incident will encourage others to steal in the hopes of the same thing happening for the.

Lady Du is also being dragged for saying that the staff should be disciplined after they were only doing their jobs.

“You are condoning a terrible entitlement behavior and I pray you supply her with the basics month to month for she doesn’t steal again,” one person said while another said:

“We are saying as a society let’s allow people to do crime at peace, people are suffering already. What kind of Nonsense is this Traumatized? Nandipha must be given free bail gee, plus it’s her Birthday today.”
