Zodwa has been bullied and cast out by many straight women who think that they are the sole proprietors of femininity and how it should be presented to the world. | AnElectricLady

As a young woman who has been forced to live in a country that polices women’s bodies I was proud of the strides she has made in challenging patriarchy and I was mentally high-fiving her for her tenaciousness

But I respected her even more when she announced that she would be paying lobola for her fiancé. I was proud of the shackles that she was breaking for black women in the country and how she was challenging outdated traditions.I found myself questioning if she is in fact as revolutionary as I had originally thought and if she sees the irony of what she said.

Her candidness on her true feelings about the LGBTI community is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I find it sad that she has used the very same utterances that have been used against her to talk about a community that has had her back from the first day she vosho’d into the limelight.

AnElectricLady Our women are educated and better than that. I don't think they can stoop to the low level of fighting for what you are referring to when they have better and important things to think and worry about.
