Can the ANCYL still make an impact in SA politics? Analyst weighs in
Fikile Mbalula.
It seems President Donald Trump and Fikile ‘Razzmatazz’ Mbalula have something in common – they both have itchy Twitter fingers.
The police minister, who is known for behaving like a Tweleb on the social media app, came under fire on Tuesday for trying to troll US reality star Draya Michele.
The former Basketball Wives LA star, sent Fikile’s Twitter fingers into overdrive with one simple tweet.
“I’m in South Africa,” the reality star posted on Tuesday.
I’m in South Africa!!!

The minister, who was probably watching the ANC briefing on its decision to recall President Jacob Zuma, replied to her tweet in a very spicy way,
He basically told her South Africans were busy, and would “call” her when they are ready.
“SiseBusy Sisi. We will Bazz you xa siReady,” he posted.

If Fikile, who is now calling himself ‘Mr. Fearfokkol’, was hoping to be funny, he missed the mark completely.
He was dragged on Twitter for his weak attempt at trolling Draya. Some even accused the minister of not having his priorities right.
“Same response you will get from SAPS when calling to report crime. mxm uselessness all over,” one Twitter user replied.
Another added: “Buzy doing what? Buying at Chicken Licken?”
Draya didn’t seem to notice the minister’s shady comment

Some Twitter users told Draya she came at a bad time.
“South Africa is not it’s self ryt now, u should have called first, I’m sorry,” one man tweeted.
Another tweep told Draya: “To do what? Sisi, we’ve got major issues to deal with.”

But the model and actress seemed oblivious of the Twitter storm over her innocent tweet She updated her fans on what her first day in SA has been like.
“So far, I’m by the beach. Watching lightening strike every 30 seconds in the water. It’s beautiful.”
Draya appears to be vacationing in Cape Town.
“Little bit of rain my first night made me happy. Wouldn’t mind a lot more rain for my entire vacay. The city needs it. Curly hair, don’t care.”

We wonder if South Africa’s Razzmatazz will slide into her DMs.
