Minister Majodina’s Disgraceful “Jou Ma Se P…” Outburst

Statement by George Michalakis MP – DA Parliamentary Leader:

The ANC Minister of Water and Sanitation, Pemmy Majodina, must be dealt with by President Rampahosa after speaking to a member of the public in a disgraceful and completely unacceptable manner.

On 9 September 2026, while attending a community meeting in Kouga Local Municipality, the Minister got into a war of words with a member of the public and using the words “Jou ma se p…”.

This shows what the ANC thinks about South Africans.

A Cabinet Minister cannot be allowed to respond to members of the public with vulgar insults simply because they are challenged or disagree with her. Ministers are entrusted with serving South Africans and must conduct themselves with dignity, respect and accountability.

The DA is lodging an ethics complaint with Parliament’s Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests, calling for Minister Majodina’s conduct to be fully investigated and for appropriate sanctions to be imposed by Parliament too.

This behaviour brings the ANC, Parliament and government into disrepute and undermines public confidence in her.

Minister Majodina must be held accountable, and she must be sanctioned by the President.

  1. Now Now – immediately / soon. A confusing phrase for non-locals meaning sometime soon – sooner than just now but quicker than right now.Example: “We’re going to the beach now now!” (But first we have to pack our swimming gear, stop at gas station and maybe get some snacks…).

  2. Fun South African Fact: The Union Buildings in Pretoria are home to a larger than life Nelson Mandela statue.
