Johannesburg - The "shaming" of individuals by questioning their nationality is in the spotlight after a tweet attacking EFF MP Naledi Chirwa.
"One day I will make a thread on how Malawian Naledi Chirwa's family fraudulently obtained South African citizenship. I will also shake the tables and expose their involvement in Nyawupe/whunga business in South Africa," "Lerato Pillay" wrote. Chirwa is known for her outspoken personality and the conversations she drives in Parliament and on social media – whether it is about gender politics or the ANC's lack of service delivery, often resulting in a backlash from those opposed to her politics.She grew up in Pretoria and rose to prominence as a young student activist at the University of Pretoria during the Fees Must Fall protests.
