Public footed bill for Motshekga’s ANC conference accommodation
8 November 2015
New evidence reveals the public paid for Minster Angie Motshekga’s hotel accommodation at the ANC conference in Mangaung.
According to a reply to a parliamentary question, Minister Motshekga used R44 175 of her ministerial budget to stay at the Tsogo Sun in Bloemfontein from the 14-20 December 2012.
The ANC conference in Mangaung (Bloemfontein) took place over the same time from 15-20 December 2012. We know that Minister Motshekga was a delegate at the ANC’s conference because her name is featured on the conference programme.
In her reply to the parliamentary question, Minister Motshekga attempts to hide that she was in Bloemfontein on party business, citing “official meetings” as the reason for her visit to Bloemfontein. No mention is made of the ANC conference.
