The DA intends to mine for some answers regarding the diamond gifted to Deputy President Paul Mashatile by 'Carat King' Louis Liebenberg.
The “unsolicited gift” from infamous “Carat King” Louis Liebenberg surfaced in the media in July with Mashatile claiming that the precious stone was gifted to his wife, Humile. In reply to the statement, DA Chief Whip in Parliament, George Michalakis, said Mashatile’s attempt “to side-step the serious allegation against him”, has merely served to raise suspicion.
“The whistleblower’s version is that he was made to select a diamond for Mashatile – not his wife – at the deputy president’s residence.”reported that Jooste, who is Liebenberg’s former head of security, said he attended a meeting at the deputy president’s home at Waterfall Estate in November 2023, where he was allegedly instructed to select the precious gem for Mashatile.“The DA will pursue this serious allegation through two investigations,” Michalakis said.
