Chicco was trying to save his reputation. His son being known as the person who killed the national captain would completely taint his reputation and legacy . #SenzoMeyiwaDocuseries

Netflix did not tell us anything we didn’t know about Senzo Meyiwa. They just read Not Barry Roux’s tweets and made a “series” of that. Lazy work.#SenzoMeyiwaDocuseries #SenzoMeyiwa

You know what irks me about this whole case? Someone out there is probably playing "Hot or cold" with all our theories. Probably reading our comments and going "Oh, this one is way off the mark"; "This one is reaching" and "Yoh, this one nailed it".#SenzoMeyiwaDocuseries
