Mzansi reacts to Papa Penny's speech

Reacting to the view, Mzansi questioned Papa Penny's choice to speak his native language.

While others defended him, many people questioned if he was a great fit to be in Parliament.

@MkasiCharles said:

"As a proud Mutsonga and advocate for native languages, I take great pride in Nkulukumba Gezani. There exists a notable absence of any distinctive qualities of the English language or the act of speaking English, especially when juxtaposed with other linguistic systems. More specifically in Parliament, where there are translators."

@SirGamede asked:

"Guys, are we being for real now? He should be having this conversation with some locals in a tavern, convincing them to join his stockfel, not a parliament debate. No inputs whatsoever, just pointing fingers at the corrupt ANC and praising Jacob Zuma."

@Solo_Jr2 said:

"Lol, black people shame criticizing a person for speaking his language. It is not good at all because other races are using their own, and they are very proud, but here comes a BLACK ONE."

@Joy_BoyZA replied:

"Mara everything is Aheee."

@lawrencezulu ASKED:

"Isn't that a hope and pride return that our MPs can speak in their home languages in the parly? Big ups to Papa Penny for expressing that pride of being Tsonga man in that GNU parliament where English has become an order of the day."
