Actor and producer Tumisho Masha has seemingly thrown his weight behind President Cyril Ramaphosa and he is attacking everyone who criticises the Head of State, including Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) deputy president Floyd Shivambu.
This comes after the politicians – which included the United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader, Bantu Holomisa; EFF president, Julius Malema; and former, president Jacob Zuma – were recorded exchanging pleasantries with Ramaphosa at Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi’s funeral on Saturday, 16 September.

DUDU ZUMA HITS BACK
On Saturday, Tumisho likened the aforementioned politicians to “naughty boys” who were fanboying Ramaphosa whom he labelled “the headmaster”.
He also dragged Zuma’s politically vocal daughter, Dudu Zuma-Sambudla, who is known for explicitly expressing her disdain for the current president on social media.
“When the headmaster walks in the naughty boys want to laugh and smile with him. We see you. Where’s Dudu now to witness her dad smiling and laughing with the real president of South Africa?”

Dudu, who is known for her no-holds-barred comments, clapped back at The Blood and Water actor with a screenshot of a 2016 article about the abuse allegations levelled against him by his ex-wife, Zozibini Mtonga. He labelled the allegations “false” in a statement last week.
“We See You Tumisho… Just Like We Saw And Heard That Your Clown Is Not Welcome In KZN But My Dad Got The Biggest Roaring Welcome…” she wrote.
Dudu’s comment received another post from Tumisho who said he would not “descend to your level” before labelling her “daddy’s cheerleader”.
“Hi Dudu, thanks for the post. I won’t descend to your level but I believe the people have spoken in your replies. Have a great week ahead and let me know if you need help with a real job other than being your daddy’s cheerleader? Losing court battles every week must be exhaustion, ” the actor wrote.
