A confident Dube-Ncube backed herself, refusing to be seen as a meek female leader.
“I think I am woman enough, I am strong enough, I am leader enough and I do not believe that any woman at any time should feel over shadowed”, says the Premier.
Nomuas-Dube has also advised other women to never feel intimidated.
“I think we need to understand that we(women) are leaders in our own right and we shouldot feel intimidated in any way shape or form” says Dube-Ncube.

The premier was speaking in response to a viral video that has divided social media users and saw other political parties speak up condemning Duma.
In the video, taken during the Springboks trophy tour in Durban, a voice can be heard calling the Premier forward to hoist the Webb Ellis up.
However instead of Dube-Ncube lifting the trophy, Duma quickly steps up and lifts it up alongside Eben Etzebeth.
