Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has withdrawn his allegations that AfriForum tried to assassinate him and stalked his children – and has apologised for making the claims.

He said he had been under regular attack from various “sources” and wanted the allegations to be viewed in this context. He accepted that his words had caused a rift between the education department and AfriForum.“The parties have their differences, however they have met in the past and have debated issues and are committed to doing so in the future,” they said. The agreement was the result of mediation after AfriForum’s legal team instituted libel action against Lesufi.

Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, said the organisation was satisfied with Lesufi’s retraction and apology, and had no reason to pursue the matter further.
