The EFF's Ringo Madlingozi has raised a few eyebrows in Parliament as he debuted as a MP earlier this week.
Dali Mpofu came to his defence, criticising the 'fools' who could laugh at the 'cultural giant' taking his place on the benches of the National Assembly.
Eugene Mthethwa had taken to social media to stick up for Ringo, denouncing the 'immaturity and political intolerance' of ANC leaders:
“Their reactions towards him really embarrassed me when, as a country, regardless of our political affiliation, we need to rally behind the president of the Republic of South Africa in building a better country for all.”
