Where’s the honour, Juju?

Malema should apologise It now turns out that Johnson is so far removed from the image and credibility of Winnie Mandela that, if Malema were really genuine in his respect for her, he would have immediately apologised for even mentioning Johnson and Winnie in the same sentence, following her disastrous and embarrassing appearance at the Madlanga commission investigating the same issues as the parliamentary committee.

It was the same Malema who uttered the words: “I thought Winnie Mandela died, Winnie Mandela has multiplied” when singing praises of then Independent Directorate Against Corruption’s (Idac) head Andrea Johnson when she appeared before parliament’s ad hoc committee investigating General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s allegations of criminal influence and corruption in the criminal justice system.

The exchange between Malema and Dugmore has no place in a parliament that respects itself, and if Chair Makashule Gana were well-versed in the reasons for the use of the term ” honourable member, he would have put the EFF member in his place.
