In a meeting, the Gauteng sport MEC said a reason other departments did not employ Indian and white people was because they spoke English

Gauteng sports‚ arts‚ culture and recreation MEC Faith Mazibuko has issued a public apology to her head of department and CFO after a leaked audio recording of her lambasting them and using “improper language” went viral.

“After deep personal reflections‚ I want to unreservedly apologise for the tone and improper language I used towards my head of department CFO.”The gist of the meeting was around delivering sports facilities known as “combi courts”‚ which Mazibuko wanted done to bolster support for the ANC ahead of the elections on May 8.

“Which other department has an Indian that is a CFO? Which other one? You are the second one … A woman. You must thank your lucky stars! Which other department has an HOD which is a umlungu [white person]? Ayikho [there is none]‚ including national. So you must thank me for empowering you so don't sabotage me … You must never! You better do your work or get out‚” said Mazibuko in the recording.

“I'm a firm believer of women empowerment‚ irrespective of race and sexual orientation‚ because women under apartheid suffered what we came to understand as triple oppression.
