Mahlobo says that the phenomenon of colour revolution is a terminology used by those in the revolutionary movement. He adds that it occurs when there’s an interference by state or non-state parties that influence certain governments to advance their narrow interests.

Our former colonisers and imperialists, they are of the strong view that these former liberation movements in terms of their strength in government must be reduced.

Mahlobo says that they push their narrative using platforms like social media, so the views of the people can be influenced. He adds that colour revolution is a world phenomenon. They're certain states which have interfered in the affairs of other countries says Mahlobo.
