On Sunday morning, he took a break from the serious stuff and kept it casual by letting his followers in on the meal he was having ahead of his door-to-door elections campaign in Polokwane. And his followers were here for the Lucky Star fish in hot chilli sauce.
Some of his followers argued that fish was a bad choice, especially if he would be engaging in door-to-door campaigning, while some teased his choice of "hot chilli sauce".

Eating such hot chilli makes me suspect that you're missing the curry.# saxonwold

Somewhere somehow, people don't expect you to open up a canned fish because you are NTATE Tito. They forget that this is how we grew up. Big Up NTATE🤘🤘🤘
