Timeline

1963

Mabel Patronella Mentor (19 October 1963 – 23 August 2022), known as Vytjie Mentor, was a South African politician, who served as a member of the National Assembly from 2002 until 2014.

Mabel Patronella Mentor was born on 19 October 1963 in the former Cape Province of South Africa.

She matriculated from Batlhaping High School in Taung.

She studied at Hebron Theological College, East Rand College, and the University of the Witwatersrand.

Mentor also studied through University of South Africa.

Mentor was a long-standing member of the African National Congress.

2002

She was sworn in as an MP in 2002 and was elected to her first full term in 2004.

After the election, she was named as chairperson of the party's caucus, succeeding Joyce Kgoali.

2004

She represented the African National Congress and served as the party's caucus chairperson between 2004 and 2008.

2008

She held the position until 2008, when Ncumisa Chwayita Kondlo was announced as her successor.

2009

She was chairperson of the portfolio committee on public enterprises from 2009 to 2010.

She is credited to be one of the first people to break ranks with the ANC and raise the alarm on state capture.

Mentor was re-elected in 2009.

The ANC then designated her to be the chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises.

2010

In 2010, she accompanied president Jacob Zuma on a state visit to China.

This generated controversy.

The ANC launched a probe and found that Transnet had paid for her trip.

She was later demoted as chairperson of the committee after it was found that she had improperly asked for sponsorship.

2014

Mentor left Parliament before the 2014 general election.

2016

In March 2016, Mentor claimed that in 2010 the Gupta family, on behalf of Zuma, offered her the position of Minister of Public Enterprises, if she could arrange that South African Airways drop their Johannesburg to Mumbai route, so that Jet Airways could acquire it.

She said she declined the offer, which occurred at the Guptas' Saxonwold residence, while Zuma was in another room.

The family denied that the meeting took place and Zuma said he had no recollection of Mentor.

2018

In August 2018, she testified at The Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture.

2019

She was cross-examined in February 2019 after some parts of her testimony were found to be inconsistent.

Mentor has defended her testimony.

In June 2022, the current Chief Justice of South Africa and the former chairperson of the State Capture Commission, Raymond Zondo said that there were too many "unsatisfactory features" in Mentor's evidence and that the meeting at the Gupta's residence, in which she alleged that a member of the Gupta family offered her the position of Minister of Public Enterprises, did not happen.

Mentor resigned from the ANC in March 2019 and joined the African Christian Democratic Party.

2020

In July 2020, Herman Mashaba announced that Mentor had joined his new political party, ActionSA.

Mentor was appointed the party's provincial chairperson in the Western Cape in October 2020.

On 12 June 2022, Mentor resigned as the party's provincial chairperson due to health-related issues.

The party said that she will assume a new position in the organisation.

Mentor said that her ill-health was caused by her weight loss journey.

She had bariatric surgery to lose weight but after she injured her leg, she gained weight again.

She was later diagnosed with candidiasis.

On 23 August 2022 her family reported that she had died after a long illness.
