"She is gone. First, it was Met Gala now this? She is gone. Not gone in a good way. It might look good, she will be rich and famous, but she is gone. Sold her soul kinda gone."
@Ngangolwandle7 said:
"I admire people like Nomzamo. So ambitious, meeting with who’s who of this world, proper billionaires, building a network. Her thinking is beyond the 4 corners of this country. She's one person who’ll never ask for donations. Lazy and broke ones are accusing her of pushing the agenda."
@Melo_Malebo responded:
"They met at the right time when he’s giving away his wealth. Good timing Zamo."

"You did us proud doll, @NomzamoMbatha."
@BotziMarcus replied:
"It's giving Epstein Island vibes. Maybe she will come back promoting his vaccines that he is a good guy who wants to help Africa, yet he can't even help his own country, but he is so invested in helping Africa. Will never trust this dude ever."
@Zealot_New said:
"This is not the first time she has taken a picture with this man; they must be working closely."

"Let’s find a black woman rooted in culture and tradition. Respected and loved by both male and females, who’ll push our agenda. It’ll be difficult for them to ridicule. A woman is the first teacher."
