”Honestly, she does not drink at all. She was at the January 8 with other women as you can see they are singing and dancing at the January 8 as we normally do,” Mosala said. ”You will find out that you have enemies that you don’t even know or aware of. Sometimes, you can be living with a person as a family member or colleague and think you are loved or there are no problems only to find out that this is the problem the person has with me and would do anything in my power to destroy you,” Mosala explained.
”Now that she is performing exceptionally well, it raises dissatisfaction from the other side of comrades. That mayor is doing well, she is doing her job. Honestly, it is beer hall talk that she did that, I reject it,” added Mosala.
