Sunday Independent reported that Ndabeni-Abrahams allegedly abused state resources when she took her husband to Geneva, a claim she has denied.
Ndabeni-Abrahams later apologised for the “error”, explaining she had meant to say France.
“I profusely apologise for this error as I meant to say that we had not been in France in that particular instance, but in Geneva, where Mr Abrahams had accompanied me on an official trip, in line with the ministerial handbook.”
But this didn't stop Twitter.
