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.
