Mashaba replied to the post with a quote tweet that drew strong reactions.

He wrote: “I’m devastated that this great patriot died for the cause I have dedicated my political life to, the Inner City Rejuvenation Plan. I know and appreciate that DJ Warras is no more, but I want to assure all South Africans that his death is not going to be in vain, unless they kill all of us.”
