Zindzi Mandela defends Naledi Pandor after chat over land storm

BySouth Africa's ambassador to Denmark, Zindzi Mandela, has sparked a social media storm after a series of tweets on land rights in the countryInternational relations and co-operation minister Naledi Pandor seems to have closed the book on the controversy over social media remarks concerning the contentious issue of land made by SA’s ambassador to Denmark, Zindzi Mandela.

Pandor said she had advised Mandela that she expected diplomatic conduct from her, but said Mandela could not be faulted on her position on land.Mandela said she had known Pandor for many years as one of the most genuine supporters of her mother, Winnie, when it was not popular to be one.I don't regard it as bullying at all and have known the Minister for many years as one of the most genuine supporters of my mother when it wasn't popular to be one.

This stupid woman should be thankful that she had the advantage of living under colonisation and benefitted from the 100% scientific, electrical, mechanical, medical etc developed by white people which she and others all use today. Say THANKYOU

So no consequences, I guess its BlackPrivilege

She does not have to defend the Minister. The Minister did nothing wrong.

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.

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.
