If all this gifted alcohol is consumed by Ministers themselves, unless they share, how often do they work under influence of alcohol? Do they have any worries about increased risk for liver cirrhosis, cancer & heart disease? At least they have drivers! dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

RAMAPHOSA: WE WON’T PROSECUTE “KILL THE BOER” INCITEMENT
