Masechaba Ndlovu, spokesperson for the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture is under fire on social media after she disclosed the late soccer player, Anele Ngcongca's mother's illness to the public.
In a heated discussion between the minister's spokesperson and sports presenter Robert Marawa, Marawa reprimanded Ndlovu about commenting that Ngcongca's mother allegedly has Coronavirus before the family could release a statement. The root of the discussion between the two started when Marawa expressed his disappointment about the minister Nathi Mthetwa for being silent after the passing of the soccer played."dear @robertmarawa, neither the MEC nor Minister @NathiMthethwaSA can visit the family at this time as Anele's mother has tested positive for Covid-19.Sundowns has provided R100,000. The Provincial Department of Sport provided R40,000.
"Hi @MasechabaNdlovu...The family has not released a statement on the nature of illness of uMama and I'm not sure if you've been granted permission to publicly disclose such....A diagnosis was only received on Monday 30th November...Anele passed away on 23 November...no statement,"And no phone call to the Family came through from the Minister or his Office since his passing is all that @SiyasangaNgcon3 was lamenting in her tweet.
Covid is real
People are taking advantage because she is a woman
