Thandiswa Mazwai slams Anele Mda
As many South Africans continue the fight to have Chidimma Adentshina removed from Miss South Africa, famous activists and politicians have used their voices and platforms to drive the message home.
In a post shared by gender, social and political activist Anele Mda, she shared a video montage of a letter she wrote requesting a meeting with the organisation to discuss Chidimma's removal from the competition:

"Words carry meaning when they are put into action. Our call for platforms that exclusively belong to South Africans to be protected and preserved is an unwavering call premised on a resistance to the takeover of South Africa by foreigners."
In a now-deleted tweet, Thandiswa Mazwai asked Anele to remove her song, Nizalwa Ngobani?, which played in the background of her video, and she refused.
Though she has not spoken on her stance on the Chidimma saga, King Tha later penned another tweet saying her music does not encourage hate:
"I do not write songs that must be used for hate. My songs are to foster change and encourage more love and justice in the world. The song used calls out the names of Nkruma for a reason. African unity!"

"Who is using your song for hate? Grow up."
