President Cyril Ramaphosa has thrust the opulent lifestyle of his comrades to the forefront of debate.
The ANC's propensity to show off through its members often seen in expensive vehicles and designer clothes has been a subject of debate in past elections.
The ANC first took issue with this when it lost support in the 2016 municipal elections. At the time, ANC leaders were pictured wearing designer clothing while asking for votes from community members whose houses were falling apart.
During the campaign leading up to the May 29 elections, videos of ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula driving a luxury car, a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, while throwing ANC T-shirts out the window circulated on social media.
Mbalula was criticised for visiting a poor area in Inanda, KwaZulu-Natal, in expensive cars.
