Dinner With The SA President This Weekend - Here's The Big Pricetag! (PIX) by TMKsouth: 9:34pm On Jan 07, 2022 |
32-million naira pricetag! Tickets for South Africa's ruling ANC gala dinner have been sold out - including those sold for a whopping 1.2 million rands (32 million naira) to nab a seat next to party president Cyril Ramaphosa. The ANC is hosting the fundraising gala dinner at the Protea Hotel in the Limpopo province on Friday evening ahead of its birthday celebrations this weekend. This is in an effort to secure funds for the broke governing party, which is celebrating its 110th anniversary. Sipho Mbele, convener of the Progressive Business Forum, which is facilitating the bash, said they had surpassed their own expectations. Mbele confirmed that all tickets have been sold. “Yes, this includes the R1.2m (N32m) tickets. We’re currently dealing with a situation where there is a lot of demand for the tickets but we must first deal with [Covid-19] compliance because we are limited to a certain number of people. “We’ve surpassed our own expectations, and what this means is that business still wants to engage with leaders of the ANC. “The dinner will not only be attracting business from leaders from Limpopo but outside the province as well. Some are flying in and others are driving from Gauteng (Johannesburg and Pretoria),” Mbele said. Aside from seats next to Ramaphosa, a seat next to party deputy president David Mabuza will cost R1m (N26m), while sitting next to the party’s national chair, Gwede Mantashe, and treasurer-general Paul Mashatile will set you back R95,000 (N2.5m). The cheapest ticket is R5,000 (N130,000). The ANC has stressed the controversial R1.2m (N32m) price tag to share a table with President Ramaphosa isn’t a fast track to amass lucrative government tenders, but merely an opportunity to get advice from the president, expand your mind, or become a better citizen. 1 Share

The menu includes SA's national animal - the springbok - and favourite snack - biltong (dried meat).
