Mazwai was unsparing in her criticism of the pair whom she said were ‘spolit rich kids trying to be something.’
Sisulu and Sexwale have been fingered as being involved in the ‘War Room’ campaign which sought to derail the election campaigns of the DA and EFF by dispersing fake racism posters and using social media influencers to tweet their supportive views of the ANC and get paid for it.
Both have denied being involved in the campaign. Shaka is the grandson of Albertina and Walter Sisulu. He speaks openly about supporting the ANC and is an author and TV presenter on SABC 3’s Trending show. He has promised to release a statement about the War Room today.
Kay is the niece of Tokyo Sexwale and is an advisor for the Gauteng ANC.
