The former DA member explained that Sisulu would not suddenly live a hard-knock life because she has been in Parliament for 29 years, most of which she was a minister. Ntuli added that Sisulu would most likely get four months' salary for every term she served to ease the transition.

According to Ntuli, Sisulu can serve as a Member of Parliament if she wants, but retirement seems like the better option for the former minister.

@rainbowinsid said:

"She's 69. With a huge pension and benefits, who'd blame her if she retired? Instead, I suspect she's going to upset a few apple carts..."

Cyril Ramaphosa fires Lindiwe Sisulu and Nathi Mthwetha, a look at their scandals

Briefly News previously reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa shook things up when he announced the long-awaited Cabinet reshuffle on Monday, 6 March.

The president welcomed new ministers into the government, meaning a few were canned.

Lindiwe Sisulu and Nathi Mthwetha are the two most notable ministers who lost their cushy jobs. The firing of both ministers probably does not come as a surprise as they are known to have a few scandals under their belt.
