"Let's be honest, Dali Mpofu is overrated. He was definitely exposed last night as a Double Agent. Under pressure, he gets emotional and arrogant. Next time tell him he must leave his EFF jacket at home."
@CYnens tweeted:
"But you once said it yourself that Dali is a useless attorney parachuted into law..."
@kgabarielnyawo shared:
"But c’mon my brother @AdvDali_Mpofu was not in his bag last night he was emotional doesn’t his work require him to separate from emotion?"
@mkhonto_senzo added:
"I've been waiting for your take on this one and I am not surprised by what you've just written here!!!"
@kgabarielnyawo shared:
"For a minute @AdvDali_Mpofu forgot he was not in Parli talking about he is still speaking on the floor interrupting as the EFF do."
Briefly.co.za earlier reported that Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan and Advocate Dali Mpofu had a sour end to the Minister's cross-examination at the Commission. The session was chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo and Advocate Dali Mpofu represented former SARS' Commissioner Tom Moyane.
The session concluded on a heated note as Mpofu was heard yelling "Shut up" at Michelle le Roux, who represented Gordhan. Gordhan had answered a question about allegations of racism earlier and Le Roux brought it up again.
Zondo stated that he did not need to hear Gordhan's explanation once more but the minister asked if he could comment on the matter. Mpofu objected and Le Roux began to explain why she wanted Gordhan to respond again. This caused frustration on Mpofu's side.
