    i have an epilectic sibling and am noticing something in this clip...my brother became epileptic after an injury on the head at 16 yrs of age...i was much younger than him and we had to be taught how to look after him. Epilepsy is a very tricky condition because it attacks the nervous system and the drugs prescribed for it have confusing side effects , contraindications and so forth and so forth...everytime an epileptic attack takes place, it takes a toll on the individual's nervous system and really they do appear as if they drunk whereas they not...a lot of education and information has to be done on the issue of epilepsy. It is a serious condition and should never be taken lightly. And before a person has an epileptic fit, they do seem to be drunk as the nerves cease to function at their best. That is my two cents!

Furthermore i took the time to educate myself further on the condition and knowledge and acceptance makes it almost a walk in the park in managing the condition.

      She is lying through her teeth this story of her doesn't add up, she is forgetting that we are born with guts that tells us whether it's a lie or truth.

    If she is epileptic ,then she was not fit for office of the minister ....
    We can't have a sickly person running our countries affairs ,we need strong , fit and able people to govern over us .

      @Sabelo Nkosi And yes i have a grandmother who is epileptic ... And HELL YES she does NOT look at all like a drunkard .
      She was on very strong dosage of medication too ...
      And Epileptic Medication is no joke , You CAN'T think correctly with that medication ... It mentally affects a person and causes SEVERE memory loss .
      And i will not beat around the bush here - we cant afford to have a Minister who at times cant think straight .

      @ALFA MTHOMBENI you going to the other extreme now ...
      YOU KNOW WHAT : Appoint her on the nuclear reaction button because we "CAAAN'T disregard people with illnesses....
      Train her to be a pilot and let her fly you to your death, because we caaaant disregard people with illnesses ...
      Reaally ???
      No wonder we find our selves where we are becoz people governing us are thinking like u and are working like computers ...
      Learn to look at reality and logic ...
      Dont have a 1 track mind... think out of the box ...

      @ALFA MTHOMBENI no one is disregarding her ...
      She was supposed to be pensioned off when her mental issues began causing problems .
      Her pension as an MP was more than enough to give her a comfortable life .
