Parliamentary protocol took an unexpected turn when MK Party member Mzwanele Manyi was instructed to stop drinking coffee during proceedings and to consume only the water officially provided by Parliament.
But what seemed like a minor disciplinary matter quickly brewed into something bigger.
In defense of Manyi, fellow MK Party member Visvin Reddy stirred controversy by claiming the party doesn’t trust the water supplied by the Government of National Unity (GNU). The remark has fueled speculation and raised eyebrows about deeper tensions between the MK Party and the current parliamentary administration.
“This isn’t just about coffee,” insiders say — suggesting a growing mistrust within the legislative chambers that could point to broader political rifts.
As caffeine culture clashes with parliamentary control, the question remains: What’s really in the water?
