ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula hit the campaign trail in an armoured Mercedes-AMG G63 owned by celebrity bodyguard and University of Fort Hare fraud and corruption accused Anwar "Dogg" Khan. 

Mbalula was chauffeured around the north Durban township of Inanda in the bulletproof Gelandewagen on Tuesday, flanked by two burly protectors, as the governing party staged a blitz in KwaZulu-Natal in the run-up to elections. 

News24 can reveal that the extravagant car was sourced from the Pentagon International Armouring Corporation, which rents out a fleet of "hard" vehicles.
