While accepting President Cyril Ramaphosa’s apology, Mantoa Mtlala, the wife of EFF leader Julius Malema, has cautioned members of Parliament against weaponising gender-based violence to score political points.
“Members of Parliament, especially on your [Ramaphosa’s] watch, should focus on how to fight gender-based violence and design ways to fulfill true freedom for women in our country – freedom from the very weaponisation that occurred under your watch,” said Matlala. This led to both Malema and Matlala threatening to sue Mamabolo for R1 million each for defamation if he did not apologise for his allegations.However, apologies have since followed. Ramaphosa offered Malema and Matlala an apology for the allegations levelled against him by Mamabolo.
