Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Member of Parliament, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, delivered a fiery and confrontational speech during a recent parliamentary debate, which has generated significant attention both inside and outside the chamber. The speech was part of a debate following President Cyril Ramaphosa’s opening address in Parliament, where he outlined the government’s plans for growth, job creation, and poverty reduction.
Ndlozi’s speech stood out for its sharp critiques and humorous digs at various political figures, showcasing his characteristic blend of wit and directness. One of his most notable moments was when he challenged Sports, Recreation, Arts, and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie, accusing him of misleading the House about the existence of a sovereign wealth fund in South Africa. Ndlozi demanded that the minister withdraw his statement, emphasizing the need for factual representation in parliamentary debates.
He also took a humorous swipe at Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe, questioning the appropriateness of Mantashe’s attire in a light-hearted yet pointed comment. Additionally, Ndlozi didn’t shy away from taking aim at Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen, poking fun at his academic qualifications, a moment that garnered widespread attention online.
