    Listen, if I smuggled drugs this 1 and only time and got caught, I'm snitching on everyone! It's only professionals who know the in's and out's of the game and the consequences of snitching, who actually don't risk snitch but a newbie and a terrified one at that?? The math aint mathing! I don't buy it and I was very angry at what she did as she had not only brought shame upon SA to the world but to us women as well, especially Xhosa women. I wanted to whip her with a shambok! But years later after only watching this now, i can safely say i wish her well and hope she inspires and turns her story (as much as it's lies) to a success.

Anyway I wish her good luck but she should do the needful by naming those sent her to traffic to from Brazil/Thailand. My take
