Fikile Mbalula, also known as 'Mr. Fix It' has hit the half a century mark, 50 years, and there's no better way to celebrate him, but look at the times he's made people laugh at his own expense.
To many, Fikile Mbalula has always been a source of entertainment since he became active on these social streets. However, he's also had a few runs in with celebrities where it wasn't on good terms and we can't forget that nude pic drama.
As he turns into a new phase of his life, here’s a dive down into his most memorable events in the past year.
Somizi found himself in hot water after a video of him and his colleague Dineo Ranaka went viral. In the video, Somizi could be heard saying that there will be an announcement from Fikile Mbalula, as he had got confirmation from him, on the extension of the lockdown.
Many were surprised when Fikile Mbalula came out and denied that he leaked the news of the lockdown extension before the official announcement was made.
In a bid to clear his name and not tarnish his image, Somizi later changed his statement claiming he was joking and that Mbalula, his friend had not told him anything.
There's no rest on Twitter is there? As soon as you think the dust has settled another battle ensues. This time around Ntsiki couldn't remain silent after the minister did something despicable according to her.
This all began after Mbalula sent a tweet to his favorite artist Beyonce, but little did Mbalula know that his tweet would infuriate Ntsiki Mazwai who went on to write an open letter addressed to him.
From the opening of the letter, we knew it was trouble. However, the part of the letter that had us cringing and making uncomfortable faces was when Ntsiki ridiculed the Minister’s dress code at the Channel O Music Awards.
AKA who swore he was never getting involved in politics went against his word when he endorsed yet another African National Congress politician for being “present” on social media.
Looks like the rapper had forgotten, that the primary reason that people vote is based on public delivery, and not if Fikile Mbalula shares a tweeps' post on his timeline.
But it seems Mbalula was his favorite, and the minister even went on to defend AKA’s right to his opinion.
My view on Mbalula is that he is one of the best leaders we’ve ever had. https://t.co/hkuDoJ5lvv
Sharing a series of images, AKA's first episode of The Braai Show featured Fikile Mbalula who is a big fan of the culture.
Though fans of Supa Mega praised AKA for bringing on the minister, Cassper Nyovest did not share the same sentiments. When he was trolled for it, Cassper did not waste time replying to the troll labeling AKA TV as “filth” that he doesn't want taking up space on his timeline.

When Letoya Makhene, who never shies away from expressing how head over heels she is in love with her bae by posting a not-so-innocent pic, Fikile Mbalula responded by reminding them to social distance.
