In a world filled with so much corruption, we love finding a report where our own members of parliament honestly declare all that they have received. Sort of. Feast your eyes on the weird array of gifts declared by our Members Of Parliament in the Register of Members’ Interests 2012.

While more than a handful of MPs were showered with an assortment of iPads, cellphone contracts, fruit baskets and miscellaneous decorative smalls, a few honourable members stood out among the riff raff with their particularly special presents. Without further ado, we present the 13 most outragous gifts declared by South African MPs in 2012:

13

Mario Gaspare Oriani-Ambrosini (IFP) enjoyed loads of great Karma, and a trip to India, paid for by the Tibetan Government.

12

Animal loving Mlungisi Johnson (ANC) was given nine sheep and a cow by Mr Maharajiana.

11

Meriam Phaliso (ANC) took delivery of 5kg of rock lobster from one “Harriet individual”.

10

Lindiwe Mazibuko (DA) declared a bottle of Jack Daniels (unspecified), and a bottle of Jack Daniels Honey, from none other than one Seth Rotherham. Sweet man.

9

Nozabelo Ruth Bhengu (ANC) was the grateful recipient of a number of that most corrupting of items – blankets. She also received a bathroom suite worth R6 900, and a pair of “sute-pants” from her daughter.

8

Natasha Wendy Anita Michael (DA) was given a R2 000 bread board from Multichoice. On a separate note, DSTV reception still cuts out when it rains.

7

Deputy Minister Of Defence, Sampson Makwetla was treated to a hunting expidition by arms manufacturer, Denel. Because GUNS.

Palestine thought Ebrahim Ebrahim (ANC) fit to receive “the holy land of Jerusalem“. Members of the monotheistic faiths, please take note.
