Trevor Noah is currently on a tour in South Africa that will also take him to the US, India and Britain.
But the hefty price tag provoked a barrage of criticism of the government, at a time when power cuts are wreaking havoc on Africa’s most industrialised nation and people are struggling with rising food and fuel costs.Tourism minister Patricia de Lille said on Twitter, which is being rebranded as X, that the “Trevor Noah advert for SA ‘does not involve public funds'”.
However, South Africans have taken to X to express their concerns and suspicion about the proposed deal.
