Mmabatho Montsho, a prominent writer, director, and artist, has recently found herself at the centre of public attention on X (formerly Twitter).
Her actions have sparked controversy, especially given her opposition to her husband Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) political affiliation. Ndlozi, an EFF member, is under intense scrutiny following the recent scandalous departure of Floyd Shivambu, EFF’s second-in-command.
Montsho was recently spotted liking Shivambu’s Instagram post, where he expressed a sentiment of resistance versus submission.
This has fueled speculation among netizens, suggesting that Ndlozi might also consider leaving the EFF. The situation unfolded after EFF leader Julius Malema’s fiery remarks encouraged dissenters to leave the party immediately.
The public reaction has been swift and varied. An X user, @vanillasausy, commented on the EFF’s intense monitoring, suggesting that even family members’ online activities are scrutinized.
Another user, @tsheko2020, defended Montsho, asserting her right to hold different political views. Meanwhile, @ramathabatheee criticized Malema for subjecting Montsho to public attacks, arguing that such actions show a lack of respect.
5. My brother @MbuyiseniNdlozi bathi what your spouse likes on X is a reflection of your views.
