A close associate of Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams says the minister fears police knocking at her door and confronting her after she allegedly violated the lockdown regulations: “Generally, she is a casual person, but with this one she is not taking it lightly”
Close associate says, after allegedly violating the lockdown regulations, the minister fears police knocking at her door and confronting her
The source said Ndabeni-Abrahams had sought legal advice on the matter and the feedback was that “perhaps because she was not caught live breaking the law, the fine could be lighter, especially because she has also apologised”. This followed a picture circulating on social media showing the minister having a meal with ANC MP and former higher education deputy minister Mdu Manana.
“The minister accepts the sanction because she knows that what she did was wrong. The president drew the line and said you cannot get away with this one,” said the person. Ndabeni-Abrahams’ ally said the minister was “fully aware of rumours that she flirted her way up”, which had been spread by “some senior people in the ANC who she looks up to, some she regards as big sisters”.
On Ndabeni-Abrahams’ appointment as minister, another close source said she had worked her way up from being deputy minister since 2011.
