General Bantu Holomisa: You give a poor a fish, you feed him the fish. Then teach the fish how to fish. #AsItHappens ?? ?? ?? ?? pic.twitter.com/OmWZYTuNSS

While many tweeps believed Holomisa would have done a much better job presenting in isiXhosa, others felt UDM MP Nqabayomzi Kwankwa should’ve been in the hot seat instead.

I've watched the show since Monday when it was Mbuyiseni Ndlozi (EFF) & it was excellent. Next time when ENCA (As it happens) invites you to host the show, you must just send the young man (Mr Kwankwa) to represent UDM. As you grow old you'll see Fisherman & all kinds of fishes.

English was merciless toward @BantuHolomisa last night on #AsItHappens on @eNCA He was molesting the queen 's language @N_Kwankwa could have handled that like a pro

Where was Nkwankwa in the first place? #AsItHappens

Taking to Twitter, both eNCA and Bantu Holomisa revealed that it was technical difficulties that ruined the leader’s appearance on the show. Holomisa even joked he would “catch that fish in future”, before thanking people for watching the show.

So the technical gremlins made life a little tricky for @BantuHolomisa as he hosted #AsItHappens on #eNCA. Autocue decided to combine all the words - it happens - thank you General for joining us and being a great sport! @tonyndoro and @MichelleL_Craig know how it feels ???? pic.twitter.com/xcbDhmcoEw

Truth be told the TelePrompt Screen messed me up and caught me unaware. I will catch that fish in future. Thanks for watching.

Happening now on #AsItHappens: @BantuHolomisa says, "The UDM is of the view that the government must do more to restore dignity of the people." Courtesy #DStv403 pic.twitter.com/w1igoZXRfd
