ANC MP Thandile Sunduza became an over night Twitter sensation after arriving on the SONA red carpet wearing a tight fitting, bright green, boobtube dress.
But, it wasn't positive...at all. From comparing her to the green Telletubby, and the caterpillar in A Bug's Life, South Africans had no problem fat shaming, ridiculing and mocking her online.
What they probably didn't know was that she's pregnant, and if you watch the video, you'll hear what she has to say about it.
And, by the way, pregnant or not, since when do we expect members of parliament to look and dress like A-List celebrities? And why do we care?
Criticizing them about the work they do (or don't do) is fine - that is, after all their job, and we have a right to know how they are doing it. Being a watchdog against corruption and how they use tax payers money is also great.
But can't we at least let them wear what they want?
Have a look at our exclusive interview with her and tell us what you think.
