EFF calls for removal of Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams from Cabinet for breaking lockdown regulations
8 April 2020
The EFF calls for the removal of Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams from cabinet for breaching lockdown regulations to have lunch with her friend. The two-month censure imposed on the Minister for breaching the lockdown is nonsensical and suggests that Ministers and Members of the Executive must be treated as if they are above the law.
Ordinary citizens are subjected to the full might of the law should they breach lockdown regulations. For one to have lunch with friends while our people observe the lockdown is insulting and undermining.
The attitude that Ministers are beyond reproach is a common trend in the Ramaphosa regime. We have seen it with Pravin Gordhan and we see it now with a Minister who has fundamentally undermined efforts to combat a global pandemic.
The Minister was seen on social media attending a lunch with a friend , a non-essential activity that is in contravention of the strict regulations set by the very Executive she sits on.
