“What a lovely couple. May blessings follow them all their shared life”, she added. Other said she was “just getting married for the haters”.
A fellow EFF fighter also shared a photo of the couple, and captioned it:
“Dankie Naledi Chirwa for sending haters to icu. Xenophobic gangsters where are you?”
Chirwa took aim at President Cyril Ramaphosa back in January as well.
Ramaphosa a ‘toothless boy’ but…
In response to Ramaphosa’s weekly newsletter about protecting SA’s Constitution, Chirwa said the president would “forever remain a toothless boy”.
Chirwa said Ramaphosa was “such a weak little boy” who sent his stooges to “collapse Lindiwe”.
“It won’t be surprising if you do what little boys do when overpowered by women. Through a tantrum, we are expecting you.”
…Shepard Bushiri is her ‘Papa’
However, she also created a controversy on social media when she continued to support Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) leader Shepherd Bushiri.
Chirwa often referred to Bushiri – who has been accused of rape, money laundering and fraud – as ‘Papa‘.
She’s was also removed from the National Assembly earlier this year, after which the the EFF opened a criminal case against Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.

WATCH: Chirwa ‘takes divine fall’ from feminism
Naledi Chirwa calls our democratically elected President a boy for asking us to respect the CONSTITUTION, but the same Naledi Chirwa calls Bushiri ‘papa’ and takes a divine fall for him as a feminist while Bushiri is scamming women.
