EFF statement on misuse of taxpayers money by Stella Ndabeni-abrahams and Khumbudzo Ntshaveni
17 May 2022
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is appalled and disgusted by the Parliamentary response from Acting-Director General of Communications and Digital Technologies, which reveals that since May 2019 to date, the Department has spent a staggering R15 million on accommodation for Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Officials.
While the rest of the country and the world was suffering from travel-related restrictions as a result of COVID-19 over the past three years, Ministers Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, and her successors, namely Khumbudzo Ntshaveni, have been living a lavish lifestyle at the expense of taxpayers.
Ntshaveni, Abrahams, and their deputies spent R5 million combined accommodation, while the globe was battling a deadly and restrictive pandemic.
This accommodation was inclusive of hundreds of thousands of Rands spent on food, including an outrageous amount of R739 000 on catering since 2019.
