At the state capture inquiry, Mbalula denied the family had any influence over his political decisions, but admitted to indulging in a vegetarian curry at a Gupta-owned farm.
''Everything they eat is not from the shops, it came from their farm. I didn't even know that they had a farm. So that's what we discussed, at his house, Ajay Gupta. Vegetarian curry, I don't like it, but I had to eat. Curry, curry, curry. I ate, but that curry never finished me. I stood firm.”
Mbalula's followers were quick to comment. Some were amused by his post, others not so much.
