ANC MP cannot be disgraced, that would require the ability to feel shame and remorse. Would like to tell us that they were wrongly jailed during apartheid but, from what they've show, jail is where they belong!

ANC fails upwards.
2011: Appointed Minister of Communications by Zuma
2013: A parliamentary ethics committee investigation found that Pule had abused her position, systematically lied, and funneled state resources to her partner. (lover). They found concrete evidence of financial misconduct - leading to her being fired/kicked out of parliament by President Jacob Zuma in July 2013.
2024: Squirrel reemployed her in parliament as Chair of the Agriculture Portfolio Committee.
2026: Squirrel prompted her to Minister of Social Development in July 2026

shocking, but then again not surprising
its our time to eat mentality, we suffered during apartheid, now we feast until a revolution forces us from power,
where the hated ANC is replaced with a dictatorship, that makes the ANC look like church saints in comparison.

Give the man a break. He's an expert negotiator, skilled businessman, and master strategist playing the long game

Another 15 years and he will have Dina behind bars

@ToxicBunny Did I get it right this time?

That is what the ANC does, recycle their garbage cadres. Usually when their fvckups gain attention, they are redeployed to a lesser post to get them out of the spotlight.

R 104 000? shame that's barely enough for 1 business class seat, where did the lover sit??

 

[Stonemason]

Well, the days of ANC cadres going on trips to New York or anywhere in America is over now. With the new visa restrictions, the cadres will not be allowed to get on the plane at Johannesburg.
