There was no love loss as police minister Bheki Cele accused DA leader John Steenhuisen of gender-based violence. Cele was firing on all cylinders as he also invited the EFF to meet him “outside”.
After discussing the drama in parliament, #TakingTheRamsByTheHorns podcast host Rams Mabote invited Sowetan journalist Nombuso Kumalo to studio to talk about binary fashion.
