A guest on the SABC Newsroom program discussing the legalisation of cannabis in South Africa ended his appearance by lighting up what appears to be a dagga joint while live on air.
Head of the Cannabis Working Group, Andre du Plessis joined Central Drug Authority (CDA) deputy Chairperson, David Nayever, in a discussion about cannabis legalisation on the SABC segment which aired on Monday (11 May).
Clearly annoyed by the notion that xenophobia had a part to play, Du Plessis interjected, saying: "The CDA is 11 years late in presenting its position paper. Please don't bring xenophobia into this as a form excuse into being late and doing your job."
Du Plessis then proceeded to take out what appears to be a cannabis joint, and lit it on screen.
