News broadcaster eNCA has come under fire after a reporter was accused of racism. Anele Mdoda has joined in with her thoughts on the issue.
eNCA political reporter, Lindsay Dentlinger, conducted an interview with Freedom Front Plus leader, Pieter Groenewald, and the DA’s John Steenhuisen without their masks on, but she requested several Black political leaders, including UDM Chief Whip Nqabayomzi Kwankwa, to keep theirs on.
This has caused uproar among South Africans including Mdoda. The media personality took to Twitter to slam eNCA and their subsequent explanation of the events. She said:
“eNCA should just say we won't get it right all the time and this time around one of our own got it wrong. There is simply no excuse for Madame's behaviour and they know it. We are not idiots and as people who have to deal with subtle racism our entire lives... this is BS.”
Social media users seemed to agree with Anele. Twitter user Mashongwe_neo said:
“I agree as well, they are trying to sweep it under the carpet like nothing ever happened and that’s the most frustrating part! They won’t acknowledge the wrongdoing”
Phutazer said:
“They keep saying our analysis is unfair in that statement. I mean her racism was displayed on national tv for heaven sake....yoooo ba mbora shame. Veder I don't watch eNCA at all.”

“Agree with you. I might be minority but my remote isn't pressing 403 on dstv that's for sure”
Maldaka said:
“They will now have to apologise for this BS statement too”

Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za previously reported that Anele Mdoda has poured her heart out on social media about the plight of women in South Africa.
The opinionated media personality has expressed her sadness at the brutal death of Tshegofatso Pule.
Tshegofatso, who was eight months pregnant, was found hanging from a tree with stab wounds in a veld in Roodepoort this week.
Her death has caused an uproar on social media with peeps demanding justice for her using the hashtags #JusticeForTshegofatsoPule and #TshegofatsoPule.
Anele wondered who their George Floyd as South African women would be.
Floyd, an African American, recently died at the hands of white police and his death triggered nationwide protests in the US with demonstrators demanding justice for him.
The protests were against police brutality, inequality and injustices in the US.
Anele tweeted:
"I wonder who our George Floyd as South African women will be. A brutal death of one woman where even men will hit the streets and say enough. I am sad that a pregnant woman hanged from a tree is not that moment."
