My tweet helped to scrap tax on sanitary pads

Tintsi Ngwenya tweeted South Africa's newly-appointed finance minister, Tito Mboweni, to say that sanitary products should be tax-free. Mr Mboweni mentioned her post in parliament, announcing VAT would be scrapped. Tinsti says she was shocked - and that it's a big step.
