EFF, DA in Twitter spat over DA chief whip's qualifications
26 November 2018
A Twitter spat has erupted between EFF and Democratic Alliance (DA) members of parliament (MPs) over DA chief whip John Steenhuisen's qualifications.
EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu and the party's spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi mocked Steenhuisen on Twitter after a Sunday Times report revealed that Steenhuisen's highest qualification is matric.
The report suggested the DA’s “degree proposal” could be bad news for Steenhuisen.
Shivambu tweeted on Sunday: "So @jsteenhuisen doesn’t have a degree or diploma or certificate in anything? His shallowness explains the whole thing."
