Tweeps suspicious of Linda Sibiya's new political affiliation

The radioman, who was a staunch member of the ANC, made some people suspicious of his intentions with his new membership, and these were some of the comments:

@Mtho2ko noted:

"This is how the ANC started to lose relevance, it recruited people who did not share its values. Soon the true ground forces will be sidelined in favour of these heavyweights. This is too soon."

@Kgaudi63474124 commented:

"EFF is becoming a football team that doesn’t develop young talent but always buys expensive players."

@sanko_malindi called it:

"Lol. Hunger is calling therefore Parliament gig is the answer."

@zenzo99815279 assumed:

"Just a hungry artist trying to survive through these difficult times, as soon they get ANC tendencies they are gone.
