CAPE TOWN \u2013 Naledi Chirwa, a member of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) trended on Twitter after she called President Cyril Ramaphosa a \u2018weak little boy\u2019.<\/p>\n

This comes after the Presidency posted a Tweet with an extract from Ramaphosa\u2019s weekly message to the country on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He highlighted the events which took place this year from the passing of Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to the Parliament fire and the contents of the state capture report that were released. <\/p>\n

\n

You’re such a weak little boy. All your fellow stooges u sent to collapse Lindiwe were collapsed themselves. It won’t be surprising if u do what little boys do when overpowered by women. Throw the tantrum we are expecting it. You’ll forever remain a toothless boy. Mfana ke mfana. https:\/\/t.co\/rmooatRufu<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa condemned the corruption and the Presidency tweeted this with a caption which read: \u201cWe need to protect our Constitution, our democratic state and the electoral process from anyone who wants to weaken our democracy and deny the South African people of their hard-won freedom (sic)\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This has caused an uproar between tweeps as many agreed with Chirwa saying she has the right to exercise her right to speech, however, many felt her to be disrespectful of Ramaphosa, the presidency and some even resorting to xenophobia. Many also called her a hypocrite as she has in the past shown respect to controversial Malawian pastor, Shepherd Bushiri who has been accused of rape and fraud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We need to protect the same constitution that made us landless, excluded us from economic activity, the same constitution that failed Marikana widows, the same constitution that failed Life Esidimeni victims. This CODESA settlement constitution should be challenged<\/p>\n

Naledi Chirwa is example of everything wrong with us. Too much freedom and no discipline \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n

\n

As a leader of the country and of Naledi, It would be a great display of leadership if Cyril came out to denounce the xenophobic attacks on Naledi. No matter our feelings of him, he remains the first citizen and CIC of the republic. He must act it.<\/p>\n

Naledi Chirwa is very disrespectful and downright trashy in her behaviour to the office of the Presidency. We cannot allow culture of insults and trashy behaviour to go unchecked.<\/p>\n

Respect is earned. Ageism does not work in politics. Y’all disrespect people all the damn time but preach morals when it is your faves. Leave Naledi alone. pic.twitter.com\/STzB0UbDPV<\/p>\n

Julius once called the President a bastard and now Naledi calls him a little boy. We expect our leaders to have political maturity especially in a time of coalitions, but they cannot even seem to even respect each other as human beings let alone opponents in politics pic.twitter.com\/dINxctV8cL<\/p>\n
