Suspended communications and digital technologies minister
Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams says a video shared on social media of her dancing next
to a new car dates back to a year ago.
The video, in which Ndabeni-Abrahams is seen singing and
dancing next to a brand new black BMW, has angered Twitter users, with some
accusing the minister of abusing taxpayers' money. Others advised her to check
who was posting damaging videos of her.
Ndabeni-Abrahams said the video was shot after the general
elections in May last year.
“I also would like to draw attention to the fact that car
dealerships are closed during the lockdown. I am at home — in line with the
lockdown regulations which require citizens to remain at home and observe
social distancing rules,” she said.
“It is malicious and mischievous to portray me as a person
with no remorse and insensitively displaying opulence at the face of the poor.
“I humbly call on all involved — whether in raising their
opinions or circulating it — to avoid the temptation of sensationalism without
first verifying the facts.”
