The African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal has rubbished claims that Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube is being undermined by the party’s Provincial chairperson who is also MEC for Economic Development, Siboniso Duma.
A video has gone viral of Duma receiving the Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup trophy. Duma then lifted the trophy with Springboks player Eben Etzebeth during the Durban leg of the Springboks Trophy Parade Tour.
The national leadership of the ANC Women’s League issued a scathing statement condemning Duma’s actions and describing them as regrettable. Duma has come under heavy criticism from the Women’s League leadership and opposition parties. The women’s league accused Duma of repeatedly undermining Premier Dube-Ncube.
In response, ANC KZN Provincial Secretary Bheki Mtolo has downplayed the incident, saying both Duma and Dube-Ncube had agreed on who would lift the trophy.
“The Premier also sent me a WhatsApp to clarify that we must not worry about this. It’s not a true reflection of what has happened. They have agreed with the chair that you see this guy is too tall and I may not match him when he is going up. When asked to respond Premier Dube-Ncube said she is a strong leader who cannot be intimidated.
“I cannot believe that I can be overshadowed, I think I’m a woman enough I’m strong enough and I’m a leader enough and I do not believe that any woman at any time needs to feel overshadowed. We need to understand that we are leaders in our own rights,” says Dube-Ncube.
Mtolo further lambasted the statement issued by the women’s league. “I seriously doubt they were genuine I think they are in another programme, but we are not surprised. There is a lot of disruption, the current leadership of the women’s league is doing in the province of KZN. We are not worried about that, they won’t match us no matter how much they try,” Mtolo adds.
