🚨So I may not be a supporter of the ANC but the comment by Andrew Barnes of eNCA is totally out of line.

A much-needed apology to the ANC’s National Spokesperson ANC Spokesperson| Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri

Andrew Barnes eNCA ANC Spokesperson| Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri I watch eNCA regularly and I’ve heard you say disrespectful comments like this all the time. You do this all the time, Andrew! For once, watch your fucking mouth and start being impartial and unbiased in your reporting.

Andrew Barnes ANC Spokesperson| Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri You cannot go around humiliating people and then expect that a simple apology will erase the harm as if people’s feelings don’t matter. Ur apology means nothing, and you deserve to be held accountable, even to the point of being fired and blacklisted!! eNCA

Your apology rings hollow because your privilege protects you, and you'll do it again without even blinking.

Andrew Barnes ANC Spokesperson| Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri So, someone made you aware that you are not as clever and as cheeky as you thought you were, neh?

Andrew Barnes ANC Spokesperson| Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri eNCA this demands consequence management. On its own, it is not good enough. What he did is in breach of Broadcasting Code of Conduct and promotes hatred. ICASA SAHRCommission and related bodies must act. ANC - African National Congress must lodge a formal complaint.
