Many believed that Pearl Thusi was throwing subs at the EFF’s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, who just a few minutes before Pearl’s tweet had already started throwing stone at the legacy of Nelson Mandela.
Commentators on the issue suggested that Pearl should consider aiming more pointed subliminals rather than beat around the bush about who is she talking about.People who use Tata Mandela to get some woke Twitter engagement here bore me.
No one is perfect, and I’d love to see their credentials on how they fought for justice in a way that endangered theirs and their families lives.Ndlozi has zero struggle credentials, he just sings struggle songs nicely. But his problem is he thinks singing is the same as being on the battle field. None of us will ever know the pain our struggle heroes endured,Mandela’s struggle credentials is well documented.
