OPINION: Several ministers and deputy ministers have posted pictures on social media of them flying economy as if others must see how much they are prepared to sacrifice, writes rylandfisher.

Over the past few weeks, several ministers and deputy ministers have posted pictures on social media of them flying economy class.

Ministers, deputy ministers and members of Parliament are, in the main, completely out of touch with the lives of what is sometimes referred to as “ordinary people”. I am at an age where I reminisce a lot. Sometimes it is at the funeral of a comrade, a colleague or a friend; sometimes it is at a special birthday celebration of one of my friends. We sometimes joke about the things we got up to or endured during the Struggle against apartheid.
