Lerato Kganyago Deactivates X Account Amid Miss SA Backlash

[@Thabo-v1g]

Somizi , Black South African woman are at the the bottom of the barrel.. We , the people of this land want want a local to represent us. A Nompumelelo, a palesa , a onalenna ect not a chidma or whatever. Me as a Black South African women will first prioritize those I have closeness too.. fellow locals. Keep your chioma /chidma ... Ill support her after supporting a Palesa , a Nompumelelo ect.

I stand with Lerato. Base things on facts. As for what the Minister of Arts said, it was irresponsible. That's why we need educated leaders.😢 Just because the majority is angry doesn't change the facts. The law is the law, and just because it doesn't suit you doesn't mean it's not the law.

The judges are even willing to get fired for her; South Africa just accept. She will WIN. As a judge; it’s best to not seem biased.

[@justanmpowereddude5021]

The fact that her name sounds Nigerian is enough to disqualify her in my books. I feel sorry for the young lady, but we only want South African women competing in these kinda shows. Its not wrong to put our own women first, why must we always be understanding? Abo Igwe must compete in Lagos not here.
