Mbalula spoke of getting a call from Ajay Gupta‚ who told him he would be appointed minister of sport and recreation — this days before the appointment was made official by then president Jacob Zuma.Here are five quotes from his testimony that you may have missed:“Before we could talk — I think that is their culture — before you talk to them‚ you eat curry. So this thing you see in the public that people eat curry there‚ it’s not a joke. It’s true‚ we eat curry.

“That everything they eat‚ is not from the shops‚ it came from their farm. I didn’t even know that they had a farm. So that’s what we discussed‚ at his house‚ Ajay Gupta. Vegetarian curry‚ I don’t like it but I had to eat. Curry‚ curry‚ curry. I ate but that curry never finished me‚ I stood firm.
