In a dramatic and eyebrow-raising moment in Parliament today, EFF MP Sihle Lonzi publicly challenged DA leader John Steenhuisen with a cutting question: Does sleeping with colleagues’ wives count as “building” your political party?
The bold accusation sent shockwaves through the chamber, sparking whispers and gasps among MPs.
Steenhuisen, never one to shy away from a sharp retort, fired back with a sharp comeback: “Those who worry about what happens in others’ bedrooms usually have nothing going on in their own.”
The exchange highlighted ongoing tensions between the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), turning a political debate into a personal showdown that dominated headlines.
Observers say this incident may deepen divisions ahead of upcoming elections, raising questions about the boundaries of political discourse and personal attacks in South Africa’s vibrant democracy.
