Siv Ngesi, a media figure, recently came under fire on Twitter after tweeps called him out on his sexuality.
After being bombarded with tweets requesting and demanding that he acknowledge to being “gay,” the “Woman King” star retaliated.
While Ngesi feels he is not required to explain his sexual orientation to anyone, he said, “So many of you call me gay, like it’s offensive or a dis! Please improve your attacks when you wanna fight on here!”
@MsPuleng wrote: “You have a hole that needs filling, the way you are always seeking approval of minorities. What happened in the mountains?”
However, the attack on Ngesi’s sexuality was not a coincidental occurrence on Twitter.
Tweeps were outraged by a tweet he sent to the daughter of former President Jacob Zuma.
Ngesi cursed at Duduzile Zuma in a tweet made hours after the ANC’s 55th National Conference results were announced on December 19 at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg, where President Cyril Ramaphosa was re-elected to a second term as party leader.
Ngesi tweeted, “Hey msunu @DZumaSambudla, what now?”
This prompted a controversy as many chastised Ngesi for his “rude” remark.
@Sizaboy wrote: “Uncalled for! From a public figure nogal! In our context of GBV, femicide and misogyny. You can do better.”
@Gibeni wrote: “I may not agree with her in a lot of things, but you calling her this is so low of you, it doesn’t matter if it’s just a tweet or what, but u stood so low here, grow up man, u can do better than being so rude here.”
@TheQuee23427001 wrote: “Is that how you treat women in your family. Shame on you.”
He followed up his tweet to her with: “I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, that I want to apologies to absolutely no one! @DZumaSambudla is scum of the earth! Love and respect to you all.”
