Parliament journalists call him the “lord of corporate governance” – he strikes fear into the hearts of state officials who appear before parliamentary committees. But for Mondli Gungubele, asking tough questions is just part of his job.
The former mayor of Ekurhuleni is in Parliament for his second stint as an MP. He sits on the portfolio committees that oversee communications and public enterprises and is one of the hard-hitters.
In fact, Gungubele was deployed to Parliament’s communications committee the night before the watershed meeting that decided that a full-blown inquiry be held into the SABC in October last year.
