South African musician Papa Penny, who served as a councillor at the Giyani Local Municipality for over a decade, has quit the ruling ANC to join the newly formed MK Party led by former president Jacob Zuma.
EFF leader Julius Malema has addressed the "beef" between himself and Papa Penny, calling the musician a cry baby and explaining that, while he loves the star, he should understand it is election season, when politicians "pick on each other".
