Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Finance Minister Tito Mboweni has clapped back at EFF party leaders after they interrupted his swearing-in at Parliament this week. The Minister has insisted he will never be late for official business again.
Taking to his Twitter account, Mboweni shared he had definitely been taught a hard lesson about punctuality, insisting he'd never be late to work at the risk of being cut off by the EFF.
"The day the Chief Justice taught me a lesson! Never be late for your allocated time. You will end up sworn in with the reds...." he captioned the cheeky post.
While some social media users sympathised with the Minister, others believed a larger more sinister agenda was at work, with Mboweni solidifying ties with the EFF. Check out some of the comments below:
