A Xhosa praise singer has come under criticism for shouting that a cabinet minister had a large posterior, The Star reported on Tuesday.
The young unnamed praise singer compared Agriculture and Land Affairs Minister Lulu Xingwana, to a "chicken with a big bum".
This was at the launch of Land and Agrarian Land reform Project and Land rights awareness Campaign, at Rockhurst Farm near Grahamstown.
He was reported to have said: "Le ntombi inempundu ezinkulu ngathi yinkukhu ehleziphezu kwamaqanda (This woman with a big bum looks like a chicken sitting on eggs)."
The comment was a metaphorical context of a chicken sitting on a nest of eggs that would hatch with great benefits for the people.
