Cabinet ministers should sell their expensive cars, Archbishop Desmond Tutu said in a report on Friday.
He said he realised that ministers were allowed to drive luxury vehicles, but that it was a slap in the face of the poor.
“In the (spirit) of ubuntu, show that you care, that you are compassionate,” Tutu said at the University of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, according to an SABC radio news report.
“Please sell your expensive cars and replace them with slightly less pricey ones to show that you care about these poor people.
“Your humanity depends on it, please,” said Tutu. – Sapa
