From free tickets to music shows and sports events, overseas jaunts and livestock, MPs remain some of the luckiest people around
Science and technology minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane declared a R499,000 scholarship paid directly to the Howard Business School by Boston Holdings.
Kubayi-Ngubane previously stated that she wanted to earn a PhD before her 40th birthday. It is unclear what she is studying. Kubayi-Ngubane also received a fruit server dish, a vase and a Chinese doll, among other things declared. The ANC's Mcebisi Skwatsha will probably need to build a kraal, as he has been a consistent recipient of livestock. He declared a bull, estimated at about R80,000, from Herschel Independent Consultants. In 2018, AmaMpondo king Ndamase Ndamase also gave the deputy minister of rural development and land reform a bull, worth R8,000 having gifted him a similar beast in 2015.
Skwatsha's former boss in that ministry, Gugile Nkwinti, declared two-minute noodles and condensed milk among the gifts he received in 2018. The water and sanitation minister also received Cremora, hot chocolate and Quality Street sweets from Nestle South Africa when he attended the company's “zero water” launch in Mossel Bay.
Remember when President Cyril Ramaphosa awarded DA chief whip John Steenhuisen a cigar for good behaviour in the house? Steenhuisen declared a cigar, value unknown,from a “Mr C M Ramaphosa”.
