THREE deputy ministers and four ordinary MPs will have R10,000 docked from their salaries for failing to declare their financial interests within the stipulated deadline last year.
Public Works and Infrastructure Deputy Minister Sihle Zikalala, Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Andries Nel, and Deputy Minister of Transport Mkhuleko Hlengwa, along with MK Party MP and national spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndlela, and ANC MPs Mluleki Dlelanga, Mzoleli Mrara, and Masetshego Mofokeng were made to stand up like schoolchildren when National Assembly Thoko Didiza reprimanded them at the start of the plenary sitting.
