The Democratic Alliance says President Cyril Ramaphosa must set an example by firing and laying a criminal complaint against Communications and Digital Technologies Minister,This comes after former Higher Education and Training Deputy Minister Mduduzi Manana posted a picture on social media of Ndabeni- Abrahams, himself and others having lunch at his Fourways home in northern Johannesburg.
“He must set an example as the President of South Africa that lawlessness while our country deals with a global pandemic will not be tolerated, regardless of from whom it comes. He therefore ought to lay a criminal complaint against Ndabeni-Abrahams, a person who he appointed as a Minister and member of his Cabinet, and he must go a further step by removing her from his Cabinet.”
The statement further states that, “President Ramaphosa addressed the nation twice asking South Africans to obey the law while containment strategies for COVID-19 were being implemented. The majority of the people of our country have done so with diligence. Many have lost jobs and incomes while staying at home as he requested. Some have been brutalised by security forces for not obeying the law.
The Foundation says the family was having lunch and courteously asked the Minister to join them after she arrived to pick up the items. Attempts to reach Manana directly for comment have so far been unsuccessful.
Eya!lenna ka rialo,sek! Ke matlhabisa di tlhong a moetapele
Im happy she is not fired. Law is law but this serves to satisfy opposition parties... those parties must cum up with ideas on how can they help to fight covid19 and also donate where they can. Postponed the drama to your workplace were u play Parliament. But law is law i admit
Hi there Regarding Stella Ngabeni-Abrahams' behaviour, I truly think justice should be served as all SA citizens need to adhere to the president's instructions, as announced re. the Lockdown Rules.
Starting with Pravin
Firing infect i dnt care wt the DA she apologized so , i thnk she has a family and kids as well as a husband to look 👀 after on wtch planet 🌎 are we from were pple promote auch things
ArrestStella
What has DA got to say about an exclusive Boer enclave in SA called Orania?
Manana was backstabbing you without knowing. How can he allow you to visit him knowing very is a lockdown. 😱😱
Ramaphosa is only empowered to discipline blacks only not minorities. MYANC
Yeah it is true that those people working the government badla kamnandi badlifutha but those on the low level we are dying of hunger.
I think is my first time to agree with DA,Stella must face criminal charges like other people
I hope she is already behind bars just like everyone who have broke the lockdown regulations. Period.
The minister should be treated the same as all citizen.she and her party should have been arrested
I dont think firing her is the answer. As a polotician and member of parlament you know how much one month salary is worth. Nobody in this country arrested for this type of offence is even paying 1% of the value of of her fine. Stoo being vindictive.
DA is so inconsistent, those who are their tools they don't even raise their finger.
The government must give her second chance..... Apologizing to the people of South Africa is enough..... One love ❤️❤️
It shows the caliber of leaders ANC deploys to positions that requires responsibility, integrity, accountability and strong leadership. It is not the first time she is crossing the lines . Is she fit for the office ? No she is not
I would like to request SABC to buy their journalist the same masks worn by ENCA journalist , I see Cricelda this morning struggling & could not breathe whilst reporting and the mask keeps moving up and down and it distracts the view
Can't they open a criminal case themselves?
We will take the DA seriously when it calls for Eskom CEO and COO sackings before this lockdown is over For now, they must focus on finding cost effective ways of improving home schooling for matriculants
Yebooo plzz zzz
The DA simply like to play to the gallery. They are not interested in what's best for SA.
She must be sent to jail like other's.
For the first time I agree with the DA phela Stella is bringing a lot of drama
Come Dine With Me
They should use the same energy with Min Praven Gordon... Our Citizens are not fools... I wonder how he is going to spin this one.... Is he going to go to the High Court...
Give us a break you preveledged ones De Klerk said Apartheid was not a crime against humanity and you went on voicemail, pity these poor askaris who can't open their eyes when they are being used
Should we remind you that no action was taken against jamnandas who hired friends for positions they didnt qualify for,authorised the corrupt BBD tender,made tax deals with corrupt whites and WMC and established a rogue unit?Is the dismay about Ndabeni fueled by her being black
Very good DA..favouritism must fall .
EmeliaFra1 They love destroying black people and clever black will support them🚮
I am with Our_DA on this one. zilevandamme can you please do us good and lay criminal charges.
Did they say the same about that fake pharmacist when the 1 billion man said he doesn't powers to discipline a minister?
Sacking her would be too harsh.. This is Not New Zealand where they sacked the Health Minister for breaking lockdown rules : suspension serves her right'
Ai kodwa i DA
The president misled parliament about funders yet they defended him, we are not kids. Helen zille has wrote nonsense no expulsions. Abelungu abasiyeke.
Ha mamele mme ooo🙄
Liyanya
Nothing wrong with lunch every body eat when become hungry even those doing road blocks are also eating to get energy for stopping cars. I only blame Manana bcz there was no need for shooting that lunch.
DA need so put all apartheid beneficiaries before they comment about freedom fighters
Thats very true.she undermined the president,the lockdown events,the truth commission by lying,and also the hungry masses by posting eating nice food in these hard times on lockdown
Let the DA go open a case at the police station, Cyril has rendered them toothless
Who took a photo
Can we ask Mr President to recognize EFF as an official opposition party and allow DA to migrate to Europe they are just a bunch of useless losers
I also think one has to do time on this case
It's a norm
Lawbreakers must be jailed
Akufani! Siyabonga.
Not happy with the president action. One month was enough
Exactly. leadership 21daysLockdownSouthAfrica StayAtHomeSA
Stella is going nowhere, DA
Fuck the DA! South Africa says that!
If they extend LockDown we demand Free Water and Free Electricity
The president must not take instructions from DA he must just follow procedures that is being brescribed in relation to the disciplinary actions against ministers.
DA will never say anything about Minister Pravin Gordon yet very quick to dismiss Black Leaders... Stella Ndabeni is still learning, she's not perfect. She's a great black woman
True
It’s just a reflection of government. No accountability when it comes to Minister’s. And no respect for our country on ministers part. They forget who pays their salaries..... hardworking people us the plebs...but karma is another thing.
Honestly I have to agree with DA on this one
DA Cant Tell ANC What To Do
He doesn't have the guts to stand up to his national executive
This time I fully agree with DA, Minister ndabeni Abrahams must not just arrested,but she must also fired,those people are not taking us serious, they're playing politics with our life
Oh please get a grip 🤬
I agree with the DA. She should be fired
If that was me ill be on sabc news, Indian male locked for not adhering to lockdown procedures
DA must sit down. Why did they not set an example when Hellen Zille tweeted about colonialism
Some people have been killed by the police for disobeying the lockdown rules and she will just walk away like that because she is the minister, are we in this world to watch other people enjoying their life, are we slaves😠😠😠😡😡😠😡
Layiwe_94 But again who are we fooling 🤷🏼♂️ previlaged ppl always gets special treatment so we jst wasting our tym cuz dis wil jst b swept under the carpet n no arrests wil b made🤷🏼♂️
A warning Mr president will do. She is human after all.she don't deserve to be fired. Evn at work I do mistakes but they hv a way to warn me daily than firing me. We all hv families to fid. She will learn along the way.
Layiwe_94 Dey must do d same as dey dd with does hummanskraal boy who was tracked down after posting his video. D same as those kids who were arrested for posting a video drinking at nyt. Dis is d same issue n must b addressed
SA is in junk status bcoz of ramaphosa and jamnandas let them fire themselves
Willing to assist the goverment kulento yale Sisifo as a traditional healer .i can give a good try for this country...amachiza yonke into ngiqinile ngawo
Wine? Did they stockpile?
Cele bopha labantu, nawe Stela uthanda ukudla
Options .... Options ...
It took a long time for the DA to take the opposition in that matter
Manana's objective was to throw Ndabani Abrams under the bus and put president Ramaphosa leadership skills to test well mdu Manana pulling down syndrome is your game and well played this time around.
That is what the DA knows best, firing people. Well in this case there is really no need to fire her. A sanction is enough haibo. The DA must sit back and relax, they will never govern🚮.
She must be prosecuted just like the couple who were arrested in KZN..... law must take it's position even if an individual is a minister she broke a law she must be prosecuted
What if she's a tea lady of Rupert?
This Stella Abrahams is always doing something dodgy.... remember when she threw journalists out of a press conference....and that time she's a minister of communication....🤦🏿♀️
I don't think he knows the word 'fire'
These MYANC people know they are above the law.
She doesn't need to be fired . She needs a break time . Shes tired of working . Mr President must approve leave form that she didn't apply for .
Yafana wethu bonke benza lento...yincitho xesha njee le ngoba Bona benza yonke into abayifunayo.
Where how who not in this country...our Presidents don't have backbone so we might as well move on nothing will be done...so many cases of people found guilty of corruption but they are moved to other departments..just forget shame
She must be fired🔥 she's undermining the President...
Criminal complaint?.
If it was a ordinary citizen they would have been penalised
She's gone go off radar for now.
Lockdown applies to some and not others? Fire her and send her to jail
He should first set an example with the looters of the 9 wasted years.
He must not forget Manana and gigabyte. Manana is an accomplice.
Stella must step down but DA was quiet when Gordon lied to the President. We see you mamenemene ke lona👀
Why other political parties always want to lead the President and act as if they are the advisor for the President. You can’t tell the President what to do and when. -All people do mistakes, the Minister does deserve to be fired but to apologize guys
I’m with DA on this one.
The DA is just bitter, can you leave the President to focus on important staff please
South Africans are just dramatic
I don't see anything wrong here this was indoors lunch with her family she wasn't roaming around the street
She has to be put to books like everyone else who broke the law she must face her own music
Ramaphosa is failing the country after being supported by all opposition parties...he has turned to show his weakness at it's best, each and everyday there's changes to regulations of the lockdown.
Well we all know that wont happen, th ANC is not a above the law, they are ontop of it. Stella got her groove back and is trending, Ramaphosa saw that she already had lunch and he decided to invite her for dinner.
No one and I mean no one is above the law
For once I agree with the DA Stella uyadelela gqith.
But she was just having lunch
I agree with DA, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams proved her incompetent by failing to adhere with the covid19SA regulations. She ought to be released off her duty... she must be fired
This is a test the government in power. One of their own has defyed law that was enforced or employed harshly on citizens to abide by, and consequences are promised to be activated should the defy. So the action to be taken by the president is very challenging to him, we are 🤔
I hate agreeing with these white protectors, but Stella seem like she missed her adolescent stage.
Hay khanimxolele wethu yhini😊
That slay queen minister must be fired period but we all know that won't happen.
I'm only worried about the face of that kid being shown all over the media. That's the only thing I'm worried about.
Arest this kid, she is stupid. She did it on purpose,
Our government does not care about people who depend on uif money because some sign online but no money received that online does not work why mara
True because people where jailed and fined, DA I second that very true....she's not special she broke the Law no matter what she was collecting. Mr President your discipline to the minister would show your integrity
She must be sacked she is a disgrace
The other one(minister)just Apologized kwaphela kanjalo let's see kulokhu PresidencyZA eNCA ......
Minister must go to jail like everyone in the country who is overzealous and not respect the lock down, the guy should go to join the inmates & wear orange like others,
Was there a need for a picture?
Kanti wenzani? Can anyone balance me
The laws only apply to us the citizens. Between minister Pando and Ms. Diko (Mr. Ramaphosa's spokesperson) one of them broke the new laws by spreading fake news, but they are still not arrested whilst thousands of our people are in prison for the breaking the law...
Banana Republic.... She must do the honorable thing and step aside she can't be trusted...
This is nothing compared to how some police and soldiers treat the people out there.
They never set an example on Zille tweets, why now, these ones always seek unnecessary attention
If DA is serious they must first call for the firing of Pravin Gordhan for his catastrophic failures!
Start with himself for plunging SA into a junk status. Fire eskom COO and CEO for handpicking suppliers. Only blacks will be purged
He's a leader so he must lead with no favors.
That one of Ramaphosa always react late, reason we are this affected by Covid19, he couldnt seize the opportunity and close borders early, even this incident will be resolved in June
So ministers and MPs don't get arrested?
She is not above the Law. . Ramaphosa must take action
Untoucable leaders. South africans deserve better
I agree
He must start with the DA for attempting to sell cigarettes
Manana is always on the news for the wrong reasons, eish!
The DA has a point here. Our leaders are afraid of being hated for doing the right thing.
There are bigger problems in the country then to worry about an ant, come with solutions on how do we stop the huge elephant Covid19inSA.
Let us be equal she must face criminal activities like others.... Let it be what you do on right you must also do it on the left Minster sorry but you have to be arrested simple and straightforward
She must get a lesson
He'll never do that...how many his colleagues have gone against the country's rules but he kept quiet.
Matriculants
She must be fired period. She broke the law

DA worried about 'lack of clear and accurate' Covid-19 stats across SAThe DA has raised concerns about the lack of provincial and regional detailed profiling of coronavirus infections in the country. What are the Dr’s saying? We can’t take a journalist reporting on such stats. At last!!!! Someone is asking questions!!! I’ve been saying it for a week now. Something is NOT RIGHT They may as well compile what they think to be right. WTF is wrong with them since the beginning of the pandemic in SA what positive support did they bring ? If they worried,they are panicking let them visit psychiatric. I fully trust stats by DrZweliMkhize give us a break DA.
