well-known Mzansi media personality Minnie Dlamini has been bombarded with negative responses after making a blunder when she shared her views about the South African election results.

 

The country is on day three of vote counting after millions of people took to the polls on Wednesday, 29 May, to cast their ballots in the national, provincial, and regional elections.

With over 90% of the national votes captured on Friday, the African National Congress (ANC) which is the ruling party – has fallen short of a majority, receiving only 40% of the vote. In second place is the Democratic Alliance (DA), while former President Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party is third.

Due to these results, the ANC will need to make a deal with other parties to form a coalition government.

Reacting on social media, Minnie Dlamini described the elections as “entertaining”. She further said: “Will the ANC coalate with MK or EFF? Will Ramaphosa step down? Will he try coalate with the DA? Interesting times…”

The Honeymoon actress has since been slammed for her post, as many X users wanted to know what the word “coalate” means as well as why she’d use “entertaining” to describe the elections.
