ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula says there is a clear political campaign against Deputy President Paul Mashatile.News24 revealed Mashatile led a life of luxury and seeming excess, using multimillion-rand homes owned by tenderpreneurs and beneficiaries of government contracts.
According to Mbalula, the party viewed the recent articles about Mashatile's life in a serious light and he would be requested to answer to it.Asked about Mashatile, Mbalula said if there were any integrity questions the party would step in."We are looking at it, to the extent that it is a political campaign aimed at annihilating an individual. We are observing it with keen interest.
"When people say that Mbalula owes somebody R3 million, I must answer. But I know the story, where it comes from. I can tell you where it comes from, but I will answer. I must answer. The ANC cannot answer for something that I do. He reiterated those found to be committing"wrongdoings" should answer to the party's integrity commission."If it is a political campaign, we will see it for what it is, because it will not succeed. Even journalists, we know that somebody gives you a dossier, you write. We can't blame journalists," he added.
