Zuma-Sambudla's comments come just weeks after she called for President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign and “give Mashatile a chance to try rectify his deliberate sabotage of the country”.
Former EFF MP Fana Mokoena also weighed in, claiming Mashatile “is a ticking time bomb and Ramaphosa knows it”.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony, Mashatile said he and the other new MPs had been deployed to implement the manifesto of the ANC.
“We are joining a team of comrades who have already been here. So we are going to work with them to ensure we serve our people.
“We will be briefed by the chief whip on what our responsibilities are going to be as MPs and we will serve with dignity and respect whatever task we are given,” said Mashatile.
