Majodina mum after allegedly hurling insults at member of the public
In a video clip on social media Majodina can be seen shouting at a man on crutches being escorted.
Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina has faced allegations of using foul language towards a member of the public at a recent government event in Kouga Municipality, Eastern Cape. A video clip circulating on social media shows Majodina shouting and using swear words at a man on crutches who was being escorted out of the venue.
The incident prompted complaints to the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests in Parliament. Both opposition parties, the Democratic Alliance (DA) and ActionSA, have criticized Majodina's behavior, with the DA calling for action from Parliament and President Cyril Ramaphosa, and ActionSA threatening to lodge a complaint with the Ethics Committee.
The Democratic Alliance MP Jan de Villiers stated that Majodina's language towards a member of the public was disgraceful and below the dignity of any cabinet minister, and called for her to be held accountable.
