Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe engages stakeholders during a briefing ahead of the Integrated Community Registration Outreach Programme (ICROP) in Roodepan, Kimberley on March 26, 2026.
Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe says she is waiting to be approached by Parliament and the African National Congress (ANC) to account for the alleged failure to disclose donations of two Chinese cars to the ANC Women’s League (ANCWL).
She was speaking to the media in Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape.
It is also alleged that she gifted the vehicles to her children.
The allegations have opened her to widespread criticism, with Action SA and the Democratic Alliance (DA) calling for her to be axed.
Action SA also filed criminal charges against her.
Tolashe says both the ANC and the National Assembly have not yet called her to account
She says, “Whether I’ve misled Parliament, that will be the business of Parliament to write to me and say I have misled them, for now I have not received anything. I am a member of Parliament before I am a Minister, so I’m accountable to Parliament and I respect that, and at the moment I have not received any information that suggests that I have misled Parliament.”
