Ngobeni Says Mentor Was A True Patriot

By: Lindelani Mbatha

Former MP turned state capture witness, Vytjie Mentor,  has died at the age of 58 after a long illness.

Mentor was among the first politicians to appear before the state capture inquiry, where she gave testimony about how former President Jacob Zuma allegedly tried to recruit her as a pliant minister through the Gupta family.

However, she gave inconsistent testimony before the Zondo commission.

She served as an African National Congress (ANC) MP and was chairperson of the public enterprises committee.

Mentor joined ActionSA nearly two years ago, jumping ship from the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP), to become its Western Cape chairperson.

Action SA spokesperson Lerato Ngobeni says Mentor was a true patriot who served her country even in the face of criticism.
