ANC MP Boy Mamabolo on Friday apologised to EFF leader Julius Malema and his wife over his “insensitive” abuse claims made in parliament.
Attorneys representing Malema and his wife Mantoa Matlala served Mamabolo with legal papers on Tuesday.
The lawyers said Mamabolo needed to apologise - and that failure to do so would lead to him being sued for R1m. In his apology, issued on Facebook in the early hours of Friday, Mamabolo said he questioned Malema about the abuse allegations after he received messages from “some jealous friends” called “friends of Mantoa”.“I was therefore actually wrong to raise the matter in public without consulting with you as my former family friends to verify these false allegations from jealous friends of Mantoa.
