Through a few recent sightings, that SBDM has only been seen alone. The last time we saw his brother, he was not well, at all, very thing, and it was reported that he was badly limping on two legs. If something has happened to him, which I truly hope is not the case, it would explain a lot of recent events. Being alone, now for the first time in his life, may well have lead to the recent submission, by the healthy SBDM, to Khanya for instance.

I will continue to hope that he shows up, much improved from the last time we saw him, but things are not looking good for the one SBDM brother at the moment. Reply
