As former EFF MP Godrich Gardee steps out of the public spotlight to pursue his articles at Eric Mabuza's law firm, he left Parliament this week bemoaning his R1.2m plus salary.

Johannesburg - Outgoing EFF MP and former party secretary Gordrich Gardee has caused a stir on social media after claiming MPs did not earn as well as people thought.

Gardee had protested that MPs earn a lot when Sunday Times journalist Andisiwe Makinana tweeted that MPs paid Parliament just under R400 to rent a furnished three bedroom villa in Cape Town. Gardee on Tuesday dared to release his salary payslip, but as of Wednesday afternoon - he had not done so. His party boss Julius Malema, as a leader of a minority party, earns R1.34m per year, while ordinary MPs earn R1.13m per year.

Maybe he has some VBS money

That’s disgusting when your party talks about the poor ,, such a hypocrite

What exectly do they do, besides shouting and chanting? 🤔🤔

GardeeGodrich what happen to 'we are pro-poor' EFFSouthAfrica

He must tell the truth, udedele abaka Julius_S_Malema , ucinga ba sidom, he was on another camp

jillianalcott Has nobody told the idiot what articled clerks get paid ? Or is he the 'articled clerk of a special type' ?

His party takes 40% of his salary

But candidate attorneys get between R4000-6000 a month🙄

At the end of the day people have got to pay bills. If he has the potential to earn more that the 1,4 m why not.........his future in the EFF is not so bright anyway. He is not the first after all......Moonsamy vacated her position as well.

It was never about the poor they always in it for themselves dont be fooled.

'Gucci' Communist. Any doubts about EFF being pro-poor? The arrogance of these politicians is amazing. 65% of SAns live on R3000pm and he complains about R100k pm. as being little. This is entitlement at best.

Ye he’s about to get a rude awakening at the salary of a candidate attorney 🥴

DA must just accept that they don't have the numbers to govern. This is too much now Acting like kids
