DA MPL Mbali Ntuli, 27, says women should wear anything they like and feel comfortable in – no one should judge them on what they are wearing.

This week the young DA leader set tongues wagging after she posted a picture of herself on Facebook wearing a bikini.

Many social media users liked her picture and only a few disagreed with her post, saying a leader should post pictures dressed in an “appropriate” manner.

“People are entitled to their opinions. I personally do not feel compelled to justify any action I take that relates to my body to anyone whatsoever, nor do I believe anybody should ever have to,” said Ntuli.

“I will add, however, that I have had nothing but positive and mature interactions with people about the picture, even those who seem intent on believing that somehow what one dresses like would have any effect on their ability to perform their duties.”
