The ANC's Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association in Gauteng’s Sedibeng region rallied behind Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and pressed criminal charges against a man who insulted her on social media
Following in the tracks of ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte and party spokesperson Pule Mabe – who have both spoken out against the public attacks on Dlamini-Zuma for her anti-smoking stance as well as government regulations under the national lockdown period, the Sedibeng Military Veterans Association said on Sunday “racists must start to know that the law bites”.
“We cannot sit by and issue statements in our comfort. For us it is not enough and that is why we came here to open a case, so that those who are intend to do the same must see that the law will take its course,” he said. Inside the police station there were questions why the minister did not personally come to open the case but Mondo said any citizen had the right to open one.
“We are perturbed and angry by the video that we saw of the white racist who insulted the minister with her private parts. We are opening the case because we do not take the minister only as a minister but as Africans, she is our mother,” he said.“It cannot be correct that whenever one is frustrated then they insult the minister. In African culture it is wrong to insult your mother, more especially referring to her private parts”.
