Steenhuisen hit back in the red beret during a debate at the National Assembly on Tuesday.

He said he was not shy because he did not have a tertiary qualification.

Steenhuisen tore EFF: "Is this a silly attack on me, or a disgusting defamation from [Public Enterprises] Minister [Pravin] Gordhan and his family, or the heinous harassment of the EFF approached the journalists who had revealed it, it was a smokescreen. Smokescreen to cover up their party's corruption and patronage network, and rent-seeking caused by looting VBS Bank. "
