former African National Congress Member of Parliament, Vytjie Mentor.the death of State Capture whistle-blower and former African National Congress Member of Parliament, Vytjie MentorThe 58-year-old is best remembered for her role as one of the first whistle-blowers who testified at the State Capture Inquiry about her encounter with the Gupta brothers at former President Jacob Zuma’s behest.
Mentor was born in 1963. The anti-apartheid activist also served as a chairperson of the portfolio committee on public enterprises from 2009 to 2010. She is recognised to be among the first people to break ranks with the ANC, after she raises the alarm on state capture. At the time she was Chairperson of the Public Enterprises Portfolio Committee. She said the offer was made while former President Jacob Zuma was in the next room of the family’s Saxonwold home. But later was criticised as evidence could not be corroborated by the commission’s evidence leaders.
Deepest condolences to her family, colleagues, and friends.

She was not a whistleblower, her evidence was rejected as lies by zondo while she was testifying, may her soul rest in peace. She is only a whistleblower to fake and captured media.
