Their strategy is one of public humiliation and modern-day Twitter vigilantism
Over the past few years, as the global focus on alternative energies has intensified, SA has seen a growing number of “green” NGOs that have sought to impose themselves on the energy policy direction of the country.
However, when Standard Bank recognised her distinction and appointed her to its board, a flurry of green NGOs rose up in fury and publicly contested her appointment, purely because she happened to work for an oil and gas company. Barely three months after her appointment to the Standard Bank board she was forced to resign.
Mabelane was not the only black woman who was targeted by this lobby, so were Nonkululeko Nyembezi, Nomgando Matyumza and Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, the struggle stalwart, former public service & administration minister and global director of the UN Development Programme. The green NGOs’ strategy is one of public humiliation. They drag you to the town square and scream “crucify, crucify, crucify!”. It is analogous to modern-day Twitter vigilantism, where people who disagree with a particular view risk being dragged into the street while the mob screams “cancel, cancel, cancel, to hell with your contributions!”.
