Douglas Gibson@dhmgibson“Mbali does a great job on supporting extended family but in calculating her “source of income,” she has overlooked her salary as an MPL. They are paid R1,013,480 per annum. Many in SA would think that this, with her other businesses puts her into a good financial position.”https://twitter.com/mbalimcdust/status/1248923389219094528 …
Mbali Ntuli@mbalimcdust“My source of income. Parked since schools closed. A month of no money. Majority of my salary goes to supporting my extended family because I’m one of 3 people employed in my family. There are no easy choices during this lockdown. We all have skin in the game.”
Mbali Ntuli@mbalimcdust1. “With respect Douglas, you sent a vitriolic email about me & copied in half the world. You have also now insinuated something about me on a public platform. So you can’t when I ask you why, act as though the point of your actions wasn’t to humiliate me publicly.”https://twitter.com/dhmgibson/status/1249077376820088833 …
Douglas Gibson@dhmgibsonReplying to @mbalimcdust“Dear Mbali, I answered an email by one of your supporters. I refuse to spar with you in public. I rather like your feisty spirit & am proud we have young people like you in the DA. You are not nearly qualified to lead the opposition in SA.Perhaps with more experience you will be.”
Mbali Ntuli@mbalimcdust2. “In your email you call me a nobody from KZN and state after speaking to John that he has convinced you that I’m “bad news”. You call me a “piece of poison” So no I don’t believe that you like my feisty attitude but that’s ok it’s your opinion.”https://twitter.com/dhmgibson/status/1249077376820088833 …

Mbali Ntuli@mbalimcdust3. “I don’t mind if despite not knowing me you feel that way, the whole point of why i’m running is to stop this elitist culture of believing that we all need to be part of some club in order to serve people and give direction to the party we all sweat for.”https://twitter.com/dhmgibson/status/1249077376820088833 …

Douglas Gibson@dhmgibson“Nomfundo, I ignore racists and sexists but record I strongly supported Lindiwe Mazibuko&Mmusi Maimane.Despite some wonderful qualities both found leading Opp.not easy.Mbali, despite her millionaire job, seems to be claiming poverty. Unwise& untrue.Glad you vote DA for Mbali.”https://twitter.com/MaMcetywa/status/1249218577913253888 …
Nomfundo Mcetywa@MaMcetywaReplying to @dhmgibson @mbalimcdust“Yoh that last line is so belittling to @mbalimcdust. A typical white man putting a black woman in her space. Mbali as women particularly black women we are ready for any leadership positions there is nothing amazing that John is doing in anycase. Shame on you Douglas.”
Douglas Gibson@dhmgibson“Dear Mbali, I read your 12 points.Good for you, fighting your corner. Pity you told a fib or two. The racist, sexist,ageist twitterati, as many of them are, your fan club, are giving your moribund campaign oxygen.Perhaps I should just smile &take the abuse?”Mbali Ntuli@mbalimcdust12. “For those who say not to spar publicly,I agree it is messy but at times we must shed light on those practices we wish to see ended. Keeping things secret in politics simply emboldens those who seek to use power and positions to crush or ostracize those with differing views.”
