Azwihangwisi Faith Muthambi is a South African politician who represents the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly of South Africa.

"The authors draw parallels where there are none, between my political life which they show disdain at and investigations into the editorial independence of the SABC. Their hangover of former president [Jacob Zuma] clouded their judgment"
"It is not good enough for the authors to point fingers at a cabinet minister and SABC board members and make reference to enforced instructions from the top without evidence. Perhaps only a retired or tired person can do that"
"It would have been just and honourable for the authors to contact me to hear my side of the story than to rubbish my name in this manner"
"I am guilty of being at the same place, at the same time with the former COO [Hlaudi Motsoeneng] when I showed up to support the former president in court in Durban, which I dont know where they get a mandate to investigate my personal life"
"What stands between our current state of the arrested development and a prosperous South Africa that we want to build as it is espoused in the National Development Plan 2030, is the quality of public service to accomplish that objective"
"They insinuate an unpalatable relationship which I seem to have had with the former COO, which in their minds led to this so-called interference which I seemed to have done at the SABC"
