RTMC backs Nomuzi Mabena's campaign after initially distancing itself
Mabena has received backlash after she staged a car crash and posted it on social media.
JOHANNESBURG – The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) says it now supports a campaign by celebrity Nomuzi Mabena, Volkswagen South Africa and Drive Dry after the organisers gave clarity on the project.
Mabena has received backlash after she staged a car crash and posted it on social media.
Organisers were accused of being inconsiderate of the triggering effects of the video.
The RTMC's Simon Zwane says it had initially distanced itself from the video because of the delay in disclosure.
“It took too long to come out but, nevertheless, they did come out eventually. So, it’s fine. Let us move on. They’ve come out, they’ve owned up, it’s time to move on now. We all understand.”
My problem begins here. In the car. Where the road isn’t #Nomuzi’s sole focus. She barely looks at the road while being live & honestly, she had some amazing news to share! Congrats to #Nomuzi pic.twitter.com/qln9twIp3C
