According to the poet and activist Ntsiki Mazwai, Leanne Manas is “mediocre” and only holds her current position at SABC because she benefits from white privilege.
Taking to Twitter, Ntsiki attacked the SABC news anchor saying: “Akere you think Leanne Mannas is good cos she is white? Or whatever she is ..but it’s not black. Akere. Nothing as mediocre as Leanne Shem (sic).”

Ntsiki claimed Leanne was occupying a position that belonged to someone who would represent the black majority of South Africa.
“Playing victim will not change the fact that the position you occupy belongs to someone who represents our country of a black majority,” – Mazwai said.
After seeing all the claims posted by the musician, Leanne responded and made it clear that she has nothing against Ntsiki and hopes to meet her one day.
“Never met you – have heard about you & have seen how you hate on me for being white. It’s ok – I’m ok with it. I’ve never commented on the numerous times you have put me down. Maybe one day we can meet & you may just like me as a person & not as a colour. Take care (sic),” – Leanne tweeted.
