Zindzi agreed to ‘constrain herself’ following controversial tweets – Pandor

on Monday morning that she had reprimanded South Africa’s ambassador to Denmark Zindzi Mandela-Hlongwane for her recent series of controversial tweets in a phone call.

Pandor said Mandela-Hlongwane agreed to “constrain herself and focus on stating government policy because, as our representative, she should be advancing the policy goals of South Africa”.The minister stressed the fact that it was not Mandela-Hlongwane’s views on land but the “personal” nature of the tweets and their failure to adhere to the social media policy for public servants that she confronted the ambassador on.

“Therefore I said to her she must ensure that she recalls at all times that she’s a representative of the president and of South Africa in Denmark and must conduct herself in terms of that,” she continued.

Zindzi Mandela’s tweets speak truth to powerNewsletter| Zindzi Mandela spoke out strongly against a white minority group that is continuing to thrive in the economy of our country. Those that criticised her tweets are trying to silence her voice that speaks truth to power, writes Mashego Khutso Just another useless mouth that demands feeding. What these individuals hate is that they can never own the skills and talents that make a minority group more successful and more resilient in life. Just a collection of cheap wigs.
