Phil Mphela calls out Minister Zizi Kodwa for not doing his work while focusing on chasing clout

Popular entertainment blogger Phil Mphela came out guns blazing at the Minister accusing him of not doing his work. Phil Mphela pointed out that Kodwa hasn't made any significant changes since taking over the office. All he does is take snaps with celebs for his social media pages. He wrote:

"With all due respect Minister, May we please start seeing tangible progress that will change the industry.

"Let’s get legislations and bills signed. Let’s engage the private sector to invest in black creatives. Enough with wining & dining celebs (yes even veterans) for photo ops."

Phil Mphela's followers share the same sentiments, many asked Zizi Kodwa to get the ball rolling

It seems Phil Mphela spoke what was on everyone's mind when he outed Minister Kodwa. His followers took to the timeline to dish their thoughts on the matter.

"Vibes will not get this guy anywhere, maybe he doesn’t know that. Also, it’s gonna be interesting to see what the job descriptions are for these ambassadors and what the deliverables are, or it’s just vibing all the way."

@Ancestorsassoc1 added:

"Great ideas but nothing will come out of this minister. He is embarking in a childhood dream of meeting with celebrities (his favorites). Create your own thing and when he sees success in what you going, he will visit you."
