Hon. Temba Mliswa took to his Twitter account to comment on Hon. Kirsty Coventry's performance as the Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation.
Hon. Temba Mliswa is the current Member of Parliament for Norton Constituency. He has been associated with many scandals on social media over the years gaining the most attention from his dispute with ex and baby mama Susan Mutami.
Mliswa posted about Coventry on his Twitter account saying:
"As much as I have respect for Hon Kirsty Coventry I feel that she has done a disservice to her duties. She isn't the person for that position. Some of her appointments are all wrong. Politics isn't about being nice to people. Chirau is totally useless as a youth leader.
As for Coventry, she is focused on her IOC duties and never focused with the Ministry of Youth. Has she ever met the opposition youths or any youths to talk about their challenges? Now if your hands are not on deck with the youths what is your purpose?
She was a great athelet but she isn't a great administrator. She is having a tough time. She cannot even relate with the majority of the youths. Maybe someone like Vargo Haritatos could be better. He can relate better with youths not so much Coventry who remains an elitist."
His sentiments are interesting because many people in government positions are not doing anything anyway. Coventry became the Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation in September 2018. Her International Olympic Committee (IOC) duties involve supervising, supporting and monitoring the organisation of the Games; ensuring that they run smoothly; making sure that the rules of the Olympic Charter are respected.
As an athlete, Coventry would naturally gravitate to and excel in these duties but Mliswa is right that she has more duties beyond that and she hasn't made any notable strides in that area. The sporting aspect is only one element of her job but she has many other responsibilities besides that including working with the youth. She isn't doing much in the area of catering to the youth's needs.
