ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula hit the campaign trail in an armoured Mercedes-AMG G63 owned by celebrity bodyguard and University of Fort Hare fraud and corruption accused, Anwar "Dogg" Khan.
Mbalula was chauffeured around the north Durban township of Inanda in a bulletproof Gelandewagen on Tuesday, flanked by two burly protectors, as the governing party staged a blitz in KwaZulu-Natal in the run-up to elections.
News24 can reveal that the extravagant car was sourced from the Pentagon International Armouring Corporation, which rents out a fleet of "hard" vehicles.
