Anele even tagged the Minister in her post, saying she was getting annoyed by the bad roads. The Minister responded, and he told her to inbox him.

"Pothole just took out two of my tyres. This is getting annoying, I won't lie, @MbalulaFikile."

A few hours later, she tweeted that the pothole that had taken her tyres out was being fixed. She wrote:

"The spot that took me down is getting fixed as we speak."

The issue did not sit down well with peeps who took to Twitter to air their grievances. Many felt that the Minister was quick to assist Anele because she is famous.

@LeratoN_ commented:

"The system doesn't favour white people. It favours the rich. Us minorities we are on our own, we are just an afterthought when they need votes, it took less than 12hours to fix the road that Anele complained about."

@Khwezi_bass added:

"So it took Anele's tyres getting rocked before the Transport Department stood up and fixed those particular potholes?"

@BrunoSigwela noted:

"The fact that a celebrity like Anele Mdoda has to complain about potholes only for the government to respond to her, says a lot about how they feel about ordinary people."

Briefly News previously reported that Mzansi's leading media personality Bonang Mathemba has shared her thoughts on how the new changes at the country's biggest commercial radio station, Metro FM, are being handled. The Being Bonang star said institutions in South Africa do not respect talented people, and they lack professionalism.

Queen B responded to radio presenter Sizwe Dhlomo who also lashed out at the national broadcaster for its lack of professionalism.

He said radio heads must alert those affected by the changes not to announce on social media.
