Vovo Responds to the Criticism
In an emotional video, the 38-year-old defended herself, saying her attendance was simply to support a friend.
“Was I wrong for supporting a friend? I didn’t say I was part of the EFF,” she explained. “I’m a content creator. Where did I go wrong?”
She clarified that staying in a house given by the ANC does not mean she cannot engage elsewhere. “Also, who said I’m no longer part of the ANC?” she added.
A Plea Against Bullying
Vovo urged the public to stop bullying her and others online:
“Don’t do what you’re doing to me, because another person might kill themselves. But I won’t.”
The Song Controversy
She also addressed backlash over her singing at the event, explaining she only performed to energize the crowd. “I’m not part of the EFF,” she reiterated.
Fans and supporters have since rallied behind her, urging for more kindness online.
