The ANC Women's League insisted that it's president Bathabile Dlamini be included in President Ramaphosa's new Cabinet.
In a Mail & Guardian video of Social Development Minister and ANC Women’s League leader Bathabile Dlamini offering an interview to TV channel eNCA, users have again speculated that she appears to be under the influence.
Others have pointed out that this just seems to be the way the minister looks and speaks and we should just get used to it.
She was offering her views on President Jacob Zuma’s address to delegates at the party’s national policy conference, and she emphasised that she had taken to heart the fact that ANC branches would be deciding on who should be the party’s next leaders.
However, she said that the party’s top leadership had shown they had the power to recall a sitting president, but that should never be allowed to happen again, as “it divides us”.
Take a look at the video below.
Here were some of the comments on Facebook:
“Was she sober? Sounds like she was still on last night’s free wine from those terrible white farmers And we wonder why our country is in trouble! Notice that she was mumbling to Gupta TV.”
