LOCAL media personalit­y and rapper Boity Thulo called on South Africans not to give up on the country with the looting happening.

Parts of South Africa are dealing with thousands of people looting and vandalisin­g shops – leaving many business owners devastated.

Mzansi celebritie­s such as Kelly Khumalo and Jub Jub have shared their views on what is going on.

Taking to Twitter on Thursday, the Bakae rapper weighed in and asked Mzansi not to give up.

“May we please never give up on us. On South Africa. Please, fam.”

Thulo reiterated this statement adding that the government has failed the country.

“Don’t give up on South Africa. “Give up on the government that failed a large majority of South Africans dismally.”

Cassper Nyovest also spoke out against President Cyril Ramaphosa on Twitter.

“This has been brewing for some time now. South Africa has been a ticking time bomb.

“Passing judgement from our comfortabl­e homes about how people who are angry and less fortunate should behave is utterly ridiculous, some families’ reality is far more difficult than ours, so I can’t judge anyone.

“I am totally against looting. “However, I am equally torn by our people’s suffering.”

He asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to step up and not just rely on speeches for actions.

“Too many lives have already been lost, we plead for our president to show real leadership.

“Stand firm and show care for his nation… not just iPad speeches on TV.”
