Small Business Development Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams has become the latest target of controversial music executive Nota Baloyi, who publicly criticized her choice of attire at a recent event. Baloyi, known for his outspoken and often divisive social media commentary, mocked the minister’s dress as too revealing, sparking heated debate online.
The incident unfolded after Baloyi took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts, part of a pattern of provocative statements that have included claims of racial superiority and past defenses of other controversial figures like podcaster MacG. His latest remarks drew mixed reactions, with some social media users accusing him of sexism, while others agreed that Ndabeni-Abrahams’ outfit was inappropriate for her position.

Mixed Reactions Online
Public opinion was sharply divided. Some criticized Baloyi for disrespecting women, while others questioned the minister’s fashion choices:
-
@Butilesello: “Why is it so easy to disrespect Black women?”
-
@Research42135: “A whole minister can’t even dress decently.”
-
@Afrika_As_One: “You’re disrespectful—one day, someone will physically stop you.”
-
@WFalcon51936: “I agree, my GOAT Nota.”
Broader Context
Baloyi’s comments come amid heightened scrutiny of public figures’ conduct, particularly regarding gender and professionalism. This incident follows his recent defense of MacG, who faced backlash for crude remarks about Minnie Dlamini—criticism that led to MultiChoice and Moja Love distancing themselves from the podcaster.
As the debate continues, the episode highlights ongoing tensions over accountability, sexism, and the expectations placed on women in leadership roles. Ndabeni-Abrahams has not publicly responded to the criticism.
