Tyla sparks criticism from Minister Zizi Kodwa

Tyla explains her photo pose with Minister Zizi Kodwa

“Tyla will not be performing again after this, the Minister will make sure of that.”

“You guys are always killing me because where do you get the idea that you have the power to ruin Tyla's career when you can't even do it yourself? That girl is GONE! She's GLOBAL, there's nothing any of you can do about it.”

“This is not a tender, it is pure talent. The government can do nothing to ruin Tyla's popularity.”

“Tyla did nothing wrong. It's HER Grammy, not Zizi's or the country's.”

“This video will never be funny man, because the ANC loves to take credit for things they didn't contribute to, they didn't know who Tyla was until she became famous.”
