It has become standard practice for prominent South Africans suspected of wrongdoing to resort to diversionary tactics for example, recent attacks on the judiciary, accusations about “white monopoly capital” and, more recently, the I-have-been-targeted-because-I-am-fighting-corruption trope, writes Sabelo Skiti.
Higher education minister Blade Nzimande wants a formal written apology within seven days for the bribe allegations made by former Productivity SA chairperson and Thuja Capital CEO Mthunzi Mdwaba.
“I am prepared to sell my socks to defend my integrity because that's the only thing I've got. I know Mdwaba, I won't deny it. I have never had under-carpet dealings with him anywhere, never”, Mbalula said.
