CAPE TOWN — It seems Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Member of Parliament (MP) Mbuyiseni Ndlozi was not the only hit for the party at the Debate on Opening of Parliament Speech in Cape Town on Friday.

National Council of Provinces (NCOP) Gauteng EFF delegation representative Naledi Chirwa-Mpungose seemed to rise to the occasion by impressing with her utterances.

Chirwa-Mpungose's rousing speech

The MPs smiled ear to ear, impressed by Chirwa-Mpungose's utterances about knowing who the true criminals were in the VBS Mutual Bank looting.

This is as the red party leadership faced heavy scrutiny over the scandal, TimesLIVE reported.

Chirwa-Mpungose had no kind words for President Cyril Ramaphosa, who, in his speech, committed the new coalition government to growth, job creation, and poverty reduction.

She blamed him for reportedly failing to solve social issues, including unemployment.

She impressed the youth, tugging on the listeners' emotions by alluding to it as a fragile stage.

"However, South Africa's youth are children endlessly, some of whom will never enjoy their independence.
"Mr President, thousands continue to give into nyaope. Many [still] stay with their parents, and it isn't uncommon for a 40-year-old man to ask his mother for bread [because] we are [that doomed] under your leadership.

"This [spectacle] of joblessness and poverty is the 'Ramaphosa economy' [phenomenon]," said Chirwa-Mpungose.

The EFF member also spoke about the country's pervasive gender-based violence (GBV) issue, saying women continued to be killed, despite Ramaphosa declaring the social ill as one of the previous administration's priority items.

She added that the youth knew the real criminals following convicted ex-VBS Mutual Bank chair Tshifhiwa Matodzi's claims against her party.

According to Matodzi's damning deposition, the EFF allegedly received an initial R5 million, followed by R1 million in monthly donations.

EFF and MK Party MPs greeted Chirwa-Mpungose's speech with raucous cheers and applause.
