The billionaire philanthropist says he was 'deeply hurt, embarrassed and perturbed' by allegations levelled against him by the party last week.
The billionaire philanthropist says he was ‘deeply hurt, embarrassed and perturbed’ by allegations levelled against him by the party last week.
The case relates to allegations that Motsepe was involved in an alleged plot to interfere in Botswana’s politics in a case that has seen his sister Bridgette Radebe slapped with visa restrictions by South Africa’s neighbour. Motsepe, however, vehemently denies that he ever had anything to do with the matter and points out that even Botswana’s media have apparently recognised this.
Motsepe further complains that the BLF’s harmful comments about him impacted on his recent business endeavours in both Switzerland and the US. Mngxitama’s comments had embarrassed him, created an undeserved negative stigma around him and had affected his ability to generate investment into South Africa, which his lawyers said was the primary purpose of his travels abroad.
