@diannehawker I still don't understand why people are failing to see that SA was really backed into a corner there & had to fight very hard to get themselves out. It was not easy, that video nearly caused serious damage but they managed to explain it away and I'm very proud of them.

👏 👏 👏 👏 well done!

@diannehawker Love yall. I was in the jungle and had to fight for my life😅Two questions later, I can’t quite believe it
