“The Luke Commission is a white woman private clinic. It can’t be funded by the Eswatini Government. There are a lot of black indigenous swazi women that have opened business and during financial struggle,they have never been funded by the Government.TLC now understands that RFM is struggling because there is no money, it’s not because of black leadership.The 30million should fund RFM and all the patients should go there”,reads the status.
Matsebula declined to comment about the status when asked if she supports racism.
