Simphiwe Dana: Cherish the time spent with former president Thabo Mbeki
SA singer and songwriter Simphiwe Dana met with the Republic former president Thabo Mbeki on her way back from Guinea.
Simphiwe cherished the moment as she experienced an inspirational chat with the former statesman.
“It has been such a wonderful time spent with this great leader on our way back from Guinea. I got such important insights from our conversation. The gentleness and patience he exhibited as I asked him a myriad of questions. I will treasure this experience for a long time to come,” she wrote
Simphiwe has often been vocal on politics in Mzansi. Taking to Twitter in January 2022, she said even though she would love to see a woman lead the country, she’s not certain the woman needs to come from the ANC camp because it is a “lost cause”.
“If the ANC wasn’t such a lost cause, a female president from the camp would be such a breath of fresh air. Given that the ANC as a whole has created such destruction, the treatment of Lindiwe Sisulu seems particularly aggressive. But alas, throw the whole thing away,” she wrote.
