Social media users comment on Madida's podcast

@siyamoja_b said:

"The only calibre of women who should be allowed airtime on podcast networks. True role models. Not these hoes about Cyan boujiee, Zodwa wabantu, Gogo Skhotheni, Londie Lodon, Xoli Mfeka, Cindy Makhathini, Mbali Mlotshwa, DJ Zinhle. SA women role models. Bad examples for young girls."

"I think it all comes from the background. A woman raised well will carry herself well, so are the people around her. Nandi is a good example of that woman. I just hope Zakes doesn't flop her man."

"Before you make this personal, understand that the hiring priority is as follows: black women, white women, black men, white men. The majority of white men are already in control. Number two. If you are starting a business. Good BEE scores go to a Black women-led business. Black men are always last to be considered, and it’s deliberate. The number of successful black men, in comparison to black women, is a tiny minority. Now ask yourself, as a Black woman bashing Nandi, how many successful black men are in your supposedly dating pool? Why is that dating pool small?"
