“When it comes to anything in this country, just say, ‘Oh, shake your head and move on with your life. Standards have more than doubled.”

@Janssens2A asked:

“How does this guy still manage to perform with a cloud over his head?”

@Patrick61593939 stated:

“Double standards, my brother, with South Africans.”

@lesiba_keetse defended Arthur:

“Talk about recipients of lottery money, etc., not Arthur beating Chichi; he never did this; the court found him innocent because he never laid a hand on her; I attended this trial along with other gender-based violence groups; Andile Galeshiwe was there; Chichi could not prove to the court that Arthur beat her.”

@lesiba_keetse added:

“I was present at this court case. Arthur never touched Chichi. Google or search and you will see what I am saying; better to say that he dated her when she was much younger, which is not a crime; she believed that the car was going in reverse and hit the gate, say something else, not this.”
