"She was one of the most mocked personalities. People celebrated her downfall. They used to make fun of her situation. We knew that she had her own hardships. But, she was hardly given her flowers."

Fikile Mbalula roasted for tribute message to Zahara

In a previous report from Briefly News, Minister Fikile Mbalula decided to pay tribute to the late Zahara, who passed away on 11 December.

Mbalula's message did not move people because there were major typos that did not make any sense.

For many people, this further proved the incompetence of politicians as people said it was a blatant disregard for writing a proper tribute post.
