Siv  Ngesi has had a tumultuous year. The year started on a high for the broadcaster and actor following the confirmation that he was part of the now blockbuster action female-led movie The Woman King. But he also had to deal with the loss of his mother  too, as he still shares his journey towards healing following her loss.

However, in terms of his activism. Ngesi moved from attempting to bring some awareness and coverage to the world of drag in South Africa. This is as he first introduced his drag personality, Savanna. But in light of the backlash he received for attempting to allegedly galvanise and profit from being a straight identifying man in drag, Ngesi seems to have decided to get into politics. 
 
First, it was him teasing that he would spearhead activations which would see the ruling party out of office and the matter of loadshedding finally being a thing of the past. However, his recent assault on social media on former President Jacob Zuma’s daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambula, tweeps have been dragging him for filth. 
Siv Ngesi to Dudu Zuma: "Hey ms*n*"
 
Duduzile Zuma, who is also the twin sister to Duduzane Zuma, has become the unofficial-official spokesperson for her father. As such, in light of the African National Congress National Executive Committee (ANC NEC) where Dudu believed that the ANC KZN would win seats and see Zuma return as the President of the ANC. 
 
In light of ANC KZN losing dismally as none of their delegates managed to make the ANC NEC, Siv seemed to get satisfaction from this point and went onto Twitter to call out Dudu with a belligerent tweet. 
 
Whether Siv knew how brutal the political game in South Africa is or not, is a matter that still hangs in the air. More so as it did not take long for the post to garner traction as tweeps who sided with Dudu were quick to drag him for filth. 
 
But Siv seemed to enjoy the traction as he made it clear that he would not delete the post. Moreover, going on to continue berating Dudu on Twitter. Therefore, it came as no surprise that tweeps used the fact that Siv is an advocate for drag, the gay ongoing allegations, along with being an advocate for men who do pole dancing, to continue the onslaught. 
 
Those on the fence about Siv and his tweets directed to Dudu are not necessarily based on Dudu as a political figure. But they are based on Dudu being a daughter and a woman in South Africa. Therefore, given the climate in South Africa on women, many believe that Siv is perpetuating misogynistic tendencies with his tweets directed at her.
 
Moreover, Ntsiki Mazwai has also come in defence of Dudu by highlighting that her advocacy is that of her father, who happened to be president before. Therefore, for Siv to not understand that, it might be due to the fact that he might have not had a present father and does not understand that dynamic between daughter-and-father.
