ANC 'moered' Maimane: Ndabeni-Abrahams

Deputy Communications Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams earned herself a tongue-lashing after using a swear word during her speech in the state-of-the-nation debate on Thursday (19/06/2014).

Attacking DA parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane, Ndabeni-Abrahams said: "As a person who had aspirations to become a premier, I expected the highest degree of articulation, but all he did was to be a cry baby lamenting over spilt milk."

"The ANC moered you [beat you up] fair and square in Gauteng and in SA."

Deputy National Assembly speaker Lechesa Tsenoli interrupted her.

"Please withdraw that. You don't use that language here," Tsenoli warned.

A defiant Ndabeni-Abrahams replied: "Well we do [use that language] in Gauteng and in my country."

She eventually withdrew after Tsenoli again took her to task. - Sapa
