Of course, the Gupta’s got a mention from some South Africans as Gigaba announced parts of Telkom will be sold.
Portions of Telkom are to be sold off, with an option to buy them back at a later stage. Guess which family is gona buy them.? #MTBPS2017 pic.twitter.com/4TvciOWfR5

Gigaba also sent Twitter ablaze as South Africans were blown away by his ability to memorise such an incredibly long speech. But it was all a lie, a teleprompter was hidden in the greenery that had been placed in front of the podium…
Just when I thought I was giving Malusi Gigaba a compliment on his amazing skill & I find out he's just really good at reading #MTBPS2017
