Mzansi reacts Rasta’s painting of Minister Jackson Mthembu

Rasta has done it again and Mzansi is fed up. On the heels of Minister Jackson Mthembu’s death, Rasta has taken it upon himself like he always does and drew a potrait of the late politician. Suffice it to say, the pictures looks nothing like the minister.

RIP to the Minister in Presidency 🙏🏽💐

Let’s continue praying for a better year 🕯 🕯 @MYANC @PresidencyZA @News24 @eNCA @SABCNews @Newzroom405 pic.twitter.com/1WOY5V9pyY

“It is with deep sorrow and shock that we announce that Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu passed away earlier today from Covid-related complications. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time of loss,” he wrote on Twitter.

The minister’s passing mark yet another loss in the political fraternity this month following the passing of KZN MEC for Transport, Community Safety, and Liaison, Bheki Ntuli.
