However, during an interview with eNCA, Ndabeni-Abrahams seemingly became agitated as anchor Xoli Mngambi probed her on the allegations.
The minister strongly denied ever having been to Switzerland, but just a few seconds later, admitted to travelling to Geneva and New York with her spouse.
The footage indicated that Ndabeni-Abrahams wasn't aware that the city of Geneva forms part of Switzerland.
Since the hilarious clip went viral, TimesLIVE have reported that the minister has tried to clarify her statement.
Her explanation is that she was momentarily confused and meant to say that they'd never been to France.

"Lol it’s not arrogance of politicians . It’s the stupidity of the leaders of this country who can’t even educate themselves about the rest of the globe. They think SA is earth."
