Mdwabe tightens security amid fraud claims against minister, Mbalula
A businessman who dropped several bribery bombshells on cabinet ministers says he's had to beef up security over concerns for his own safety.
Mthunzi Mdwaba's claimed ministers Blade Nzimande, Thulas Nxesi and Enoch Godongwana, through middlemen, solicited a bribe of R500 million from a UIF deal his company was negotiating.
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula responded to the allegation by laying a charge of crimen injuria against Mdwabe.
The Thuja Capital CEO says he's been in legal consultations on how to respond to demands for retractions and apologies.
