Way to few brave independent strong black woman. Never forget Thuli Madonsela. For the children of Africa she stood out as the sword against injustice. To fix this country we need more Thuli’s. Almost a religious change in thinking. All religions have basic fundamental principles that very often woman (of any race or creed) can embody. Almost from the heart, to nurture, protect and grow. For a black woman to speak out (against group think hive mind) ie sees injustice, smashes the wall of tribal instinct, and “Fixes” the problem. That’s big kahunas. Huge Kahunas. White people take individuality as been normal. That we are all different and all special in different ways. Tribal base instincts of self preservation are extremely difficult to ignore. We have to become less tribal. Shout out to Zetu ✨☀️🌈

2 black professional women, calling out another black women. Black people, we need to understand accountability. 90% of senate voting against her. 90%. Please we will not tolerate subpar behaviour just because you're black, those days are over, this is a new South Africa. We want efficacy and integrity

Newton's 3rd law For every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction.- e.g.the reaction to leadership failure is racism

Strong black women going against a leader that happens to black you can't call that race discrimination. An overwhelming vote against the chairman and all are of different races and extremely well educated. This woman is not right for the job. Regardless of race. Better people for the job. Find someone else. Top leaders say bye bye so just go.

[@Jack-ii7zm]

Welcome to South Africa, are you new ?

@@Jack-ii7zm Cop out is blaming everything on the 'race card'. Welcome to the world, are you new? KMT

Mamphele Ramphele was a VC at UCT and Prof Njabulo Ndebele as well.
Prof Phakeng needs to learn how to engage issues without playing the race and gender card when it suits her.

[@Jack-ii7zm]

@@yo-a Well the lady she was using it against is black.... so yeah it was an easy excuse albeit an invalid one XD

[@Jack-ii7zm]

@@yo-a SA isn't like the rest of the world imo from my many travels - black people here looooove to play the race card when being called out on their BS - even against other black people XD
