Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina has apologised for her vulgar outburst during a community engagement in Kouga, saying she takes full responsibility for responding to a resident with the same profane language directed at her.

Majodina issued the apology on Tuesday, days after a video of the confrontation at the Loerie Sewer Pump Station launch on September 9 went viral and drew criticism from opposition parties and civil society groups.

The incident occurred during a community engagement in Loerie, where a resident being escorted from the venue shouted “jou ma se ****” at Majodina.

Majodina responded by telling him to leave and repeating the insult.
