Water and sanitation minister angrily dismissed the DA's criticism of the appointment of Susan Shabangu, saying she is more experienced than any DA MP.
"The fact that she's not in parliament is very similar to the fact that Helen Zille is not in parliament. We might easily say the same thing about her or any other members of the DA who is not in parliament - that question does not hold. Susan Shabangu has the necessary experience, especially in labour law, and that's why she was brought into the stabilisation team.
Mente argued that Motau had previously done unsatisfactory work for the department, but Sisulu would not have any of that. "What's outstanding about Terry Motau? I am surprised that MPs should ask that. He's a trailblazing [lawyer, with a] very good track record. We will put it on the website and we'll give it to all MPs, so that they know why we chose him. He's had outstanding results and we're expecting that he'll have outstanding results for us as well," she said.
