Who is footing the bill for Deputy President Mabuza’s latest trip to Russia?
28 June 2021
The DA calls on the Presidency to provide details around the Deputy President’s latest trip to Russia. The Presidency has confirmed that Deputy President David Mabuza has requested leave to travel to Russia for a medical consultation.
We urge the government to clarify the details of this trip, specifically who is footing the bill.
It is highly peculiar that Deputy President Mabuza would travel all the way to Russia to seek medical assistance when he can receive world class medical treatment in South Africa.
It is a shame and a slap in the face of our medical practitioners and medical facilities that their own Deputy President would rather seek medical treatment abroad than in South Africa.
