It's been a long week already, and its only Wednesday. After Clicks SA's racist advert caught the attention of South Africans and caused the Economic Freedom Fighters to go on a week-long protest, Social Media has been abuzz with political debate.
Caught in the cross-fires of that political debate was Thuli Madonsela, who has been having a Twar with everyone in the EFF and defending the Clicks issue by calling it an "Unconscious Bias". When Mbuyiseni Ndlozi insulted Thuli, Lerato Sengadi didn't like it one bit.
"Black widows have been treated in the most vile, inhuman and degrading way once their partner passes for decades..." she said when she was vehemently defending Simphiwe Ngema and Tino against Twitter Trolls.
"I don't think there's one black woman who doesn't know of another black woman who has gone through this. This conversation is important because at some point we have to say enough is enough."
A few months back, after a spate of gruesome gender-based violent crimes were committed against women, Lerato took lambasted government in a series of Tweets. She specifically targeted Minister of the Police, Bheki Cele, claiming that he has shown more concern regarding alcohol, rather than the multitude of deaths that have occurred.
So it comes as no surprise that she was one of the first women to defend Thuli Madonsela from Mbuyiseni Ndlozi but some Tweeps didn't agree with her at all.

One Tweep even asked her what being a woman has to do with anything, "What does being a woman have to do with anything? Does that mean he (Ndlozi) can't speak the way he wants because she (Thuli) is a woman?"
