Former home affairs spokesperson Mayihlome Tshwete had the internet in a mess this week when he cracked a joke about actress Vatiswa Ndara's stint on the popular TV series Home Affairs.

It all started when a social media user shared snaps of Vatiswa's character on the show, claiming she “killed this role on Home Affairs”.

While the streets were discussing her acting, Mayihlome cracked a joke about not working with her at the government department.

“I don't remember working with her, but it was a big department,” he said.

The streets were in stitches at the joke, with even transport minister Fikile Mbalula having a laugh.

Others carried on the joke with puns that would make your dad proud.
