Dube-Ncube agreed to Duma lifting Springboks trophy, says ANC KZN

In a statement, the ANC Women's League called on leaders to uphold the values of non-sexism and gender equality.

The Premier of KwaZulu-Natal Nomusa Dube-Ncube has lauded the people of KwaZulu-Natal for coming out in numbers to celebrate the only four time Rugby World Cup Champions. Photo: KZN Provincial Govhave downplayed the controversy around provincial chair Siboniso Duma lifting the Ellis Webb Cup during the Springboks’ tour in Durban on Saturday.

He was accused of bullying and overshadowing Dube-Ncube, as most argued that she should have been the one to lift the trophy.“Gender equality is not just an ideal but a fundamental principle that the ANC identifies with. The actions of Comrade Siboniso Duma demonstrate a regrettable departure from this essential value, perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes which have no place within the ANC or in broader political discourse.

MEC Siboniso Duma bullied and undermined KZN Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube during the Springbok's Trophy Tour in Durban.But the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal dismissed the ANCWL’s statement as an attempt to “isolate” Duma and “weaken” the ANC-led government. “Nobhala and officials, please let’s not allow these detractors to play cheap politics at dividing the ANC and the public. We actually laughed with Comrade Mthombeni yesterday about the fact that he is the one that will match Elizabeth because of his height,” she was quoted as saying by the party.
