“Are you joining Afrika Mayibuye as President of Women's League?”

“I am the CEO of NM Media House. I don’t need politics 😅in a few years, they will be asking me to fund them.”
Netizens react to Ntsiki Mazwai's assessment of Malema
Several netizens criticised Mazwai, while some shared the same view as hers regarding Malema. Others asked her to clarify if her comments were linked to Malema’s remarks on General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Here are some of the comments:
@Obelisk_lira agreed:
“This is the end of EFF. Its followers are just too brainwashed to admit it.”
@ourpreacher asked:
“Are we talking about Malema's change of stance regarding the General Mkhwanazi issue, my sister?”
@Nash6415Nash argued:
“It's amazing how people who never or don't intend on supporting CIC or EFF are always disappointed by him, whereas those who support and have supported him or EFF are not disappointed at all.”
@ShakuJohannes shared:
“Hai, sometimes he must learn to keep quiet. He's the reason EFF is not making it. He must remember the good dancer knows when to leave the stage. He made his part. He can rule behind. What was his reason to speak as he did about Mkhwanazi?”
@MpunziTelboga advised:
“There are two sides to the story; waiting could be helpful.”
