"What is a “lesbian woman”? We are bombarded with new terms everyday by the rainbow gang."

@RTmmane replied:

"We didn’t even know you and you called us to come see the man in you. You could have left social media to socials and not threaten to take it to parliament when the country has big issues to deal with."

@FatKyl3 responded:

"I thought this was about Minnie and what Mac G has said, how did it become about you now."

"Your sexual preferences are not questioned Steve, but your morals are."

"People who don't know you and have never followed your work will attack because they fail to do a simple Google search. You have been attending to GBV cases since your very first day in office but now they will lie and say you do nothing all to defend a pathetic misogynist MacG."

"Mam, genuine question and with respect. Were you born male or female? What's your original names?"

"Thats the problem right there you are quick to hide behind your preferences in intim*te partner as opposed to fixing your clouded missaligned moral judgement. You should not be minister or deputy minister of anything step down."

"Who asked you? Ma’am we don’t care if you are a lesbian or an orange, what we care about is what we pay you for. What have you done to solve high number of youth unemployment? What have you done to protect women and children? @PresidencyZA @ParliamentofRSA, please remind the deputy here on what she’s supposed to do at work, or we will force you to replace her. You identify doesn’t change unemployment."
