@Lebo_sephoka replied:

"Why do you insult the EFF, bro? What have they done? I have never seen you tweeting and insulting any organisation like this. Are you supporting any other political party or getting kick bags like Terry Pheto?"

"They should include you in the national lottery looting alongside Terry Pheto. You’ve been struggling yet you have money."
