SA sports minister takes on journalist who asked him how he paid to go watch MayPac

Lol. Drama! Adrian Basson, the Editor-in-chief of a South African news website questioned South African sport minister, Mbalula Fikile's source of funding for his trip to watch the Mayweather vs Pacquaio fight after the minister announced his arrival in Las Vegas to watch the fight.

The obviously angry Minister took on the journalist. See his reaction after the cut.


Some people even felt the journalist, who is white, was being racist for questioning the Minister, who is black.

The journalist was just asking because as a matter of fact, in Africa, politicians don't pay for their pleasures from their pockets. Na so.

In as much I tried to see reason with the SA that he could travel without the tax payers money, I don't seem to like the racial narrative he took.
He could have replied him without making it a white and black ish.

~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA

I don't see racism in this but accountability. Not everything is about being black or white. Really what is the sports doing there with celebrities who came in private jets and can afford to throw money around.

Same thots Bonario....the minister took it to another level...he simply overacted. .. hope this won't cause another wahala in the heat of xenophobia matters. ..meanwhile when are u upgrading from Nokia Lumia?...just kidding. .provided it provides u comfort and do what is meant to do...takia. .

Amy said...

SA problem will never stop. Did the journalist mention anything about race now. And he had to reply with either black and white. Their problems plenty jare.

Thank u Bonario... These SA politicians use the race card to confuse the already confused citizens. Oga answer the question and leave race out of it. Sm1 of the "white" pple in SA today can't trace their way back "home" and for some there's no1 or nothing in that home.

They can question any politician in SA if they have an SA passport.
He shud asnwer pls and leave black man matter out of it. Mschew! pained much.
They always play that apartheid or race card to win election. #enoughisenough

U dey craz....so a minister can afford a trip 2 Vegas 2 watch a sport without using public fund...park well

Unknown said...

Must everything be racism, if it involves a black and a white? We are our own problem.






Busy Fingers.

D white man's question ws ryt cos Africa politicians uses tax payers money 4 der pleasure n nt der salary. Accountability is all we cry 4 4rm our politicians in Africa

ary said...

Xenophobia

Petite Diva said...

Sometimes i don't know what to do with blacks ehen. The journalist was probably talking about accountability of funds by politicians as we all know what they can do and he showed his racist side. Rubbish!!!

Unknown said...

Minister, no vex ehn!, Pele but Africans are often too fast with their fingering and pilfering of public purse with abandon. Not every suspicion is racist, it's a democratic inquisitiveness

Subomi said...

well its just Vegas, sure he can afford it.

Mbalula has always been an idiot. Minister of razzmatazz. I am sure he still wwnks with the pic of Beyonce.
An inferior man will always reduce every argument to race.
Adrian should not bring himself down to Fikile 's level. Even as a black man, I am ashamed of the south African leaders. scum of our race. Mediocrity in high places. Mbalula tweets more than teenagers. Forever picking fights on instagram.

Unknown said...

Okay hmmmmmmm

ThatBluntGuy said...

You're an idiot. Ode oshi. Forming yeye bishop on Linda's blog over end of the year N100K. Mumu bishop, is everybody in the world a Christian? Open mouth dey vomit shit.
"Mayweather should remember to pay his tithe". Shoro niyen? Abi iso lenu?

Unknown said...

Pls must evry tin be bout racism. Next pls

From what I heard, the fee to see the fight was $98,000.00. The journalist had the right to ask a public servant where he got such money to pay. It has nothing to do with race. If you earned that as a pay, I don't think you'l spend it to pay to watch a match. Meanwhile your brothers are killing other African because in their ignorance, they think others are taking their jobs while you spent $98,000.00 to watch a boxing match and you have the mouth to say rubbish. You are a complete ass.

D reporter is jus being a snitch looking for how to put the minister in trouble

Unknown said...

I share in the minister's views!!

#ukgreat

akin said...

@Bonario
I agreed with you completely. The journalist asked a genuine question and l dont understand how the minister can now think his because of his race the question was directed at him. I wonder how he is able to manage the sport ministry if he cannot answer a simple question like that. Besides the journalist is a tax payer and has a valid point to ask the minister the question.
