Comedian Mpho Popps mocks Penny Penny in parliament

In more entertainment news, Briefly News previously reported that podcaster and comedian Mpho Popps shared a hilarious impersonation of Penny Penny in Parliament on 11 June 2025.

The award-winning comedian took it a step further and wore a wig styled similarly to the Umkhonto Wesizwe member's signature hairdo.

Mzansi was in stitches and couldn't get over how spot on Mpho was with his Penny Penny impersonation.
