This Is What Your Finance Minister Was Doing During Yesterday’s Important Parliament Session

You would think that Malusi Gigaba would be on his best behaviour now that JZ has left the building, but his actions yesterday in Parliament show otherwise.

There’s no doubt that sitting in Parliament can get a little tiresome, what with the EFF’s predictable display of defiance and constant interruptions, but there are certain levels of respect one should show others, surely?

Apparently not.

When ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu spoke in Parliament yesterday, Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba had something else on his mind, known to many as the addictive game of Candy Crush.

You see, above the area where the various parties’ representatives sit is the gallery, and from the gallery News24 journalist Jan Gerber noticed that Gigaba’s tablet was a bit too colourful for Parliament.

So he snapped a pic and tweeted it:

Naughty naughty.

A few minutes later, when Cyril Ramaphosa was speaking, the tablet was closed and Gigaba went back to pretending to do business:

Did Lindiwe Sisulu nudge him, or was it just because he ran out of lives?

We will never know.
