@ZwaneOmkhulu THE BUFFALO STANDS ON BUSINESS: Maphisa-Nqakula humiliates herself. Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula — lonely, bruised and politically desperate — appears to have believed, much like Arthur Fraser before her, that the fall of The Buffalo was imminent. That the walls were closing in and that many who once stood firmly behind him would quietly retreat to the sidelines, wash their hands of the moment, and pretend they had nothing to do with the road that brought both the movement and the country here.
@ReboneTau Those insulting Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula seem to miss one thing. She’s at a point where she has nothing to lose, and that changes everything.
@RatoZ12 Who even cares about spilling well-known beans? The ANC is corrupt, infantile and evil, yet she still talks about being loyal to them.
@Imms_S_Nashinge She can’t fix anything. She already messed up and must live with it.
@MissWaters__ If I were Thoko Didiza, I would refuse to repeat the mistake of allowing myself to be used. Baleka Mbete was used and discarded, and Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula suffered the same fate. Today, she expresses regret on podcasts and faces multiple charges after doing the dirty work to protect that man. The Speaker must act honourably and safeguard the integrity of Parliament. The first step would be to oppose Ramaphosa’s application to review the report. The grounds for opposing the application are substantive and supported by law.
@Constitution_94 GWEDE MANTASHE: Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is saying every other thing because her mind is suffering. She is angry at Fikile Mbalula and claims Mbalula was the SG who instructed them to vote down the Section 89 report. Mbalula was not even SG in November 2022.
@PuleModise26875 It is a tendency in the ANC to bring politics, allegations of backstabbing and political interference into criminal allegations one is facing. She is a well-respected person. Her criminal case stems from another criminal case involving a tender in her department, where the accused mentioned her. It has nothing to do with Cyril Ramaphosa or Mbalula.
@RayDont5dq When you are in the political wilderness, they will vilify you and forget your contribution to their movement. Ask Elias Magashule.
@Diva_Queeeen Funny how they’re fighting the SG part, not the claims she’s making. Do they really think Mama Nosiviwe didn’t know who was SG at the time? I criticised her at first, but after watching, I can say it’s good that she’s fighting back.
@Mr_makhubu They also made Mama Winnie seem like she was crazy.
@KhujoyMala54936 Gwede is brutal. There is no honour amongst thieves.
@Mbatha10 Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula speaking out now also looks like a fight-back strategy against the case she’s facing, but if what she said about the Zimbabwe trip is true, then the ANC is rotten to the core.
