In a surprise turn of events, former African National Congress (ANC) chief whip, Tony Yengeni, and former Minister of Tourism, Lindiwe Sisulu, were spotted together in what appears to be a private meeting. The two leaders have been vocal in their criticism of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s leadership, leading to speculation about their intentions and potential political moves.
The details of their meeting have not been revealed, but it was Yengeni who shared a picture of the two on Twitter, fueling discussions and debates among social media users. “How’s she doing without blue light?” one user commented, poking fun at Sisulu’s removal from her ministerial position and the loss of the perks that come with it. Sisulu was reshuffled from the Tourism Department earlier, which created waves of controversy and further strained her relationship with the ANC leadership.
Another user expressed frustration with both Yengeni and Sisulu, stating, “These two have never achieved anything for South Africans since they had power.” This sentiment echoes the sentiments of many South Africans who are disillusioned with the performance of the country’s political leaders and are demanding real change and tangible improvements in their lives.
However, amidst the criticism, there were also calls for Yengeni and Sisulu to join the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the prominent opposition party led by Julius Malema. “We need you in Parliament sir, to represent the economic freedom in our lifetime. Please join Malema, let’s save South Africa from the Apartheid beneficiaries,” a user appealed.
Yengeni’s caption accompanying the shared picture, “My sister,” has only added to the intrigue surrounding the meeting. Some speculate that this could signal a deeper bond between the two leaders or even hint at potential collaborative efforts in the future.
Both Tony Yengeni and Lindiwe Sisulu have long histories within the ANC and have held significant positions in the party, but their recent critiques of Ramaphosa’s leadership have put them at odds with the current direction of the party. The meeting has sparked speculations of a potential realignment of political forces within South Africa, with some wondering whether Yengeni and Sisulu are considering forming a new political movement or even joining an existing opposition party.
Only time will reveal the true nature of their meeting and whether this unexpected alliance will have any meaningful impact on the country’s political landscape. For now, South Africans are closely monitoring the developments, eager to see how this meeting may shape the future of their nation’s politics.
