News of the socialite's death has been dominating online discussion, and recently spiralled into online users deciding to hold the brand of the car Ginimbi was driving responsible for his death.
Thousands of commenters descended on the Rolls-Royce Facebook page, spewing anger and vitriol and blaming the car company for Ginimbi's vehicle bursting into flames.
