Penny Lebyane dragged for defending Nathi Mthethwa after Bonang Matheba slammed him

In related news, Briefly News reported that Penny Lebyane is being dragged for defending Nathi Mthethwa for his R22 million South African flag project. The media personality took to social media to share her thoughts on the project after Bonang Matheba slammed the Minister of Arts and Culture.

The reality TV star urged government to fire Mthethwa after he went live on TV and defended his decision to construct the multi-million rand flag. Bonang shared that Mthethwa was useless, adding that, "We all hate you".

Jumping to the government official's defence, Penny took to Twitter and threw shade in the direction of Mthethwa's naysayers. Many assumed the former Metro FM presenter was shading Bonang.
