"Yes she was. One of her parents was South African. Lets also not forget the contribution Malawians made to this nation."

@umtapi said:

"Connie's mother was South African and her father was Malawian. She identified herself as a South African. Your version of pan-Africanism is skewed in favour of illegal immigrants who perpetuate crime in this country."

"Sometimes it's good to keep the dead out of clout."

@UbuntuUnifier reacted:

"You're part of the problem. You fuel the toxicity on this app."
