Vote: Is this the most embarrassing interview ever by a politician?
Former Speaker of the National Assembly Baleka Mbete was recently interviewed by Mehdi Hasan on Al Jezeera. The interview was nothing short of embarrassing, according to Twitter.
Hasan grilled Mbete on several controversial topics that have plagued the ANC over the years, including AIDS denialism, the Marikana Massacre, and the Nkandla upgrades.
"Crime was brought to South Africa from Europe," was one of her answers to the brutal questions.
Twitter believes she embarrassed South Africa on the world stage.
