Take your flea-infested body and sit down: Sisulu to DA MP

Public Service Minister Lindiwe Sisulu told DA MP David Maynier to take his "flea-infested body" and sit down after he accused her of wasting public resources, it was reported on Wednesday.
Maynier raised the issue of Sisulu using luxury jets while she was defence minister during members' statements in the National Assembly on Tuesday, reported Business Day.
"I can only imagine that the former minister of defence and military veterans, Lindiwe Sisulu, is desperately missing the ultra-luxury [of the] privately owned Gulfstream executive jets operated by the South African Air Force," he was quoted as saying.
Current Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula had acknowledged in a reply to a parliamentary question that Sisulu travelled in a luxury Gulfstream jet more than 200 times between Pretoria and Cape Town, at the cost of R200 000 a trip.
Maynier said: "The minister of defence claims there were 203 flights. But the former minister of defence claims there were 35 flights."
According to the report, Sisulu said Maynier's claims were "hogwash and balderdash" and instructed him to take his "flea-infested body and sit down".
National Assembly Speaker Max Sisulu responded to complaints about Sisulu's remarks by saying he would study Hansard, the printed transcripts of parliamentary debates, and make a ruling later.

Posted 217 days agoThat is the problem that we will face until the ‘’Robben Island’’ cabal are abrogated by disuse and natural death, the precise problem is their ‘’false feeling of entitlement to loot, extravagance and be corrupt as they pleases’’! That is the problem which makes them big headed!

I wrote a comment in linguistic replying to you but the moderator decided to remove it even if it was not degrading but a complement! I did not know whether we are not supposed to comment on linguistic as the constitution allows us to do that! Perhaps English is the medium of communication on Timeslive! ''Moderator'' is that true?* Sui, I hope one of you or I star-born is not a moderator himself/herself, my intellect is telling something about your behavior on the blog! I believe that you and I star-born are one and the same thing and possibly a moderator of comments! Your knowledge about certain computer language and behavior on your comments suggests something to me! Prove me wrong! A linguistic comment is not necessarily abusive! That suggested to me that you do not understand linguistic which talks a lot about you!
*Yes. We do not have the resources to moderate in all 11 languages, and when we leave comments unmoderated things get incredibly ugly, so we either end up having to delete comments that aren't in English (the language of the website) or close down commenting altogether - ED

Prove me wrong!
I can't prove anything to you. What kind of proof do you require ?
Only the moderator, upon reading this, can add a comment to confirm that I have no other alias than SuiGeneris.
I am not connecting through a proxy, so they can confirm this.
Also...Click on my name and then on ''activity'' - There you can read all my comments again and then tell me if you still feel the same.
Sui is not a moderator - ED

Did not mean to be rude but just sharing something of concern! But the moderator must tell us whether is right to comment in linguistic or not! Surely the moderator did not understand my linguistic compliments which means that he is not either Tswana, Pedi or Northern Sotho! Bloging in linguistic will never be abusive or perhaps a degrading comment!
Sorry for the suspicion, but however anything is possible, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anything is possible!

Every time I see a new alias I always check the date of registration and number of comments, they closed the services temporarily for the past weeks and I was very worried! It gives a person an idea about commentators and commentary politics and corruption! Your right about verifying those facts at activity section!
