Facing Members of Parliament (MPs) for the last time in a year that has seen the economy shrink, a nationwide student protest over fees and drought and water shortages grip the land, Zuma admitted he didn’t know how to stop laughing.
Pressed by MPs over his recent assertion at the ANC’s KwaZulu-Natal elective conference that his party came before the country, Zuma told them the African National Congress (ANC) was around long before South Africa became a democratic republic.
The Economic Freedom Fighters’ (EFF) Mbuyiseni Ndlozi summed it up for the opposition.
“Speaker, we must be taken seriously. The president answers a question, says absolutely nothing, and then he laughs. It means our questions are jokes here. I’ve been telling him, this is not Trevor Noah’s show.”
