During his appearance on the political podcast, the Australian-based Mzansi entertainer said South Africa should not celebrate 30 years of democracy.
“It is a shame to say you are celebrating 30 years of democracy. It’s like a woman who is bragging about being married for 30 years, but she has been beaten and abused every day. She is celebrating the duration rather than the quality of marriage, which is no longer there. How are we celebrating 30 years of democracy? Demonstrate it to me?”

Tbo joins the list of controversial guests on SMWA
Following his comments on the show, fans felt Tbo had crossed the line by using gender-based violence as an example. He was not the first guest on SMWA to make headlines.
The show, hosted by Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh, previously caught Mzansi’s attention after they hosted Errol Musk, the father of billionaire Elon Musk, onto the show.
While he is one of the richest people in the world, SpaceX founder Elon Musk has come under fire from local fans after criticising the South African government.

Fans are divided by Tbo’s comments
Local netizens reacted on social media to show division about Tbo’s comments with some agreeing with him while others questioned his choice for an analogy.
Birth_Mabusela said Tbo has a history of letting fans down:
“The same guy who sold the country when we were behind him fighting for data?”
Gallion221619 criticised the ANC:
“ANC has perfected the art of colluding with the private sector to steal from its citizens. That's why all cases are whitewashed.”
scaraThembile agreed
“You’re damn right.”
X_Heights said Tbo had to use a better example:
“Good point but bad analogy. Gloating GBV and triggering victims shows a lack of deep, empathy and understanding of the matter. @SizweMpofuWalsh just sat there allowing this guy to make mockery of a serious issue because GBV victims don’t have a bootstrap to pull themselves out of that.”
Smiso71061900 is frustrated:
“@MYANC is gone baba, it's just an empty shell governed by vacuous minds. What is it of value and tangible that @MbalulaFikile has ever provided for this country and the community he hails from? Today, he has ambitions to run for presidency. He thinks we're ANC slay queens.”
