Only last week, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, the minister of communications, in an interview with City Press, sought to dispel the belief that she enjoys special protection even if she behaves in a rogue fashion.
In words that could have been a premonition, she said: “All I know is that I serve at the pleasure of the president. If tomorrow he does not want me, I will go.” She broke the physical distancing regulations intended to stop the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus by visiting the equally suspect Mdu Manana at his house, where they and others had lunch together and even posed for a picture.She ought to be ashamed for her flagrant disregard for rules that ordinary people are being kicked, punched and jailed for ignoring.
Although the president acted in an unprecedented fashion, there is still a case for arguing that he could have taken it further by firing her, since her bad behaviour is becoming a pattern and she is showing signs of acting with impunity.
