Pretoria - The Inkatha Freedom Party on Tuesday called on Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams to apologise to South Africans for “a grandiose display” of flouting government’s Covid-19 lockdown regulations.
“Ministers are not above the law and the regulations. Luncheons and gatherings at friends or family are in contravention of the gazetted regulations of the lockdown. Minister Ndabeni-Abrahams, cabinet and all other members of the executive must walk their talk in ensuring that what they say to South Africans is consistent with what they do.”
Former deputy minister of higher education Mduduzi Manana shared a photo of the two, along with others, having a meal at his home. The photo also showed Ndabeni-Abrahams, who Manana described as a friend, seated at the table and having a meal. “I have asked her to come and see me, so she is going to come and see me, and I am going to have a discussion with her about the impact of visuals like those on what we are trying to do. We are trying to instil a clear message to all our people that social distance is important, let us stay at home, let us not be going around with visitations. If you have to, it has to be work related,” said Ramaphosa.

LOCK HER UP NOW
She is just untouchable
IFP is useless. We don't need apology. She must be arrested or fired. Many South Africans have been arrested for doing the same thing she did. She is not above the law.
She should be arrested the same way as all other transgressors were. Covid19SA StayAtHome 21daysLockdownSouthAfrica LawandOrder
There's nothing wrong with colleagues having lunch with each other,people are blowing a storm out of a tea cup.
She must be arrested like KZN couple
Monitor the outcome. She broke the law. It’s simple.
This mama is disrespectful... not only to the people she's supposed to lead, but to the person who appointed her too. Rubbish.
Arrest her, lead by example. 🤔🙄
Or lies.
Not apologize. Our people get beaten up on the streets by police, others sleep in holding cells. How immune is she?
Disgusting display. Poor leadership. Gaah!
Fallen friends will drag you down Stellarated
