STATEMENT: President Cyril Ramaphosa accepted Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams’ apology for the violation but was unmoved by mitigating factors she tendered.

As to allegations that the Minister violated the lockdown regulations, the law should take its course. The President summoned the Minister yesterday, Tuesday 07 April 2020. The President expressed his disapproval of the Minister’s actions, which undermine the requirement that all citizens stay at home and save South Africa from the spread of the coronavirus.

President Ramaphosa has placed the Minister on special leave for two months, during which Minister in The Presidency Jackson Mthembu will act in Minister Ndabeni-Abrahams’ position.

Leaders who are swimming against the tight. 🤔.....so people don’t change they become who they are every single day.

All people who broke lockdown rules should be removed from prisons, why are anc ministers so biased why do they they think they are better thn ordinary citizens, why is the president so soft with them what do they know about him that scares him 🙄😠

I'm waiting for the minister of police. Surely if the regulations were violated it becomes a criminal offence and the president can't short circuit the process.

alfred_cabonena I i were Cyril i would be more concerned with the conduct of the minister of police and the countless acts of violence and intimidation perpetrated by the police under Celes watch.

So Cabinet and MP's are exempt from arrest? Mr President you broke your own regulations...disappointed

Thus leadership, thank u Mr President.

The thing about one politician trying to lie to another politician is that both are very skilled in the art and can spot a lie.

Not good enough! She should be fired. And all of cabinet should be on 50% pay.
