Others were not too forgiving and relayed their own experience of being victims of drunk drivers.
Most of the people sympathizing with you have done the same some time in their life. I’m sorry .... I can’t say the same for me. I’ve never touched a drop of alcohol in my life and I lost a close friend to a drunken driver so I’m not as forgiving.

Some tweeps even suggested the only reason Moloi chose to come clean was for damage control reasons.
Nah she doesn't want us to hear it from Sunday Times. It's damage control
