Socialite Babalwa Mneno took to social media to implore the arts and culture minister to give the internationally recognized South African DJ Black Coffee, a diplomatic passport.

Another social media user was not sure if Mneno knew that a diplomatic passport was not a status symbol and gave her a reality check.

Geez, people can't we all get along?
Babalwa learned from another user that a diplomatic passport did not guarantee that queues would vanish.
“My last visit to one African country, I was made to wait until they serviced their 73 people who were coming from Addis Ababa despite them having a section that deals with the diplomats.”
The tweep wrote about his experience in another country. She replied that SA celebs who represent South Africa are a brand that needs special recognition.

It does seem like Babalwa was a little random with her appreciation tweet for Black Coffee and Bonang but is she on to something with this anti-queue stance and celebrities getting special treatment when they're 'national treasures' like those two are?
Maybe, don't be so quick to judge Babalwa - we all need friends like her, who are willing to bat for you and want you to have nice things. We see you and we see the vision, Babalwa.
