Comedians Mpho Popps and Tsitsi Chiumya have taken their skits to a new level, continuing to poke fun at the things that happen in South Africa.
Their latest skit takes aim at the action that has been happening during the Parliamentary Committee sessions, which have been interesting to watch for many, providing not only valuable information but also entertainment.
Popps and Chiumya feature fellow comedians, Thabiso Mhlongo, Shanray van Wyk and Farida 'Pharoahfi' Metsileng in the skit.
The skit looks at the recent incident where the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Nobuhle Nkabane, was seen eating and being dismissive while answering questions from members of parliament on the composition and conduct of the Sector Education and Training Authority’s (SETA) advisory panel.
The clip shared on X has been viewed over 150,000 times and has people giggling away over the comedians' portrayal of the proceedings that landed Nkabane in trouble with President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Viewers have praised the comedians for their portrayal of the parliamentarians. This isn’t the comedians' first rodeo at the social commentary skits.
