Are you still able to recall Zanele Sefuba? She is a member of the ANC who was recently accused of corruption. She allegedly showed him a video of herself acting inappropriately while speaking to a young Nigerian man. To get money from her, the Nigerian man started using the video as a form of blackmail. He demanded R40,000 and threatened to make the footage public. He chose to share Zanele’s video on social media since she lacked that money.

When you are a politician or a leader, you are forced to be disciplined, but when it comes to the African National Congress, discipline is not something that is within them; if they are not involved in sex scandals, they are involved in corruption allegations. What makes it worse is that if a person is involved in sex scandals or corruption, it tarnishes the party name, which is why the party has to take action against that person. But in the ANC, things are different. You can be on corruption allegations today and contesting tomorrow.

Many people thought the ANC would take action against her, but no action was taken, and they claim that she’s the victim of this situation. Following all that, Zandile is contesting for a top position in the African National Congress; she’s campaigning for the ANC’s free state PEC. After her poster was shared on social media, many people were left in shock; they thought she was suspended from the party; some even said if she were a man, she would have been banished from the party.

In my opinion, I don’t see any reason why Zanele should be expelled or why she shouldn’t campaign; she was just a victim of the situation, and it was going to be fair if she was the one who posted that video. However, some people say the ANC has a soft spot for women because when Melusi Giyaba was involved in sex scandals, he was forced to resign, but now that it’s a woman, nothing was done.
