Nandi Madida Clears Air After Being Accused of Endorsing Julius Malema’s Views on Foreigners

The Motherhood Network, which Nandi helms, regularly features high-profile guests across different sectors, including politics. Her response made clear that hosting a controversial figure does not constitute a personal endorsement, a distinction that many of her supporters echoed loudly in the comment section.

The TV personality and entrepreneur wasted no time in responding directly on X, addressing both @JoshuaEmpowers and @AnneEmm1 in a firm but measured reply. She wrote:

Hi @JoshuaEmpowers & @anneEmm1, when an interviewer says ‘mm,’ it doesn’t mean they agree. It means they’re listening. At no point have I endorsed Julius Malema or any political figure we’ve interviewed or will interview. The Motherhood Network is non-partisan. It’s clear you haven’t watched the full episode or simply didn’t understand it.

Reactions to the exchange were swift, with many siding firmly with Nandi.
