Deemed to be incitement of electoral violence, Dumelo has received a lot of bashing on social media.
Reacting to the comment, Afia Schwar who shared the video on her Instagram page asked when the charming and ever-smiling Dumelo started talking like this.
Schwar wondered who was the 'we' Dumelo was asking to go and engage in violence against NPP supporters and asked if the actor, his wife Gifty, and their son Jonh Jnr, were part.
For Schwar, Dumelo was "talking by heart" and did not think through his statement very well.
She thus urged voters to ignore Dumelo's statement and not "be part of the .stupid we."
"When they sharing contracts you won't be part of that 'WE ".But you John @johndumelo1 who have you fought be4 apart from Yvonne Nelson???," Schwar's statement partly read.
