Minister says MK behind activist
Department of Minerals and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) Minister Gwede Mantashe has opened a criminal case against a social movement leader, Zakhele Zuma, whom he believes is a front for the MK Party led by Jacob Zuma.
Mantashe has approached the Brooklyn Police Station crying crimen injuria after Zakhele claimed that he stole R40-million during his time as general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM).
The minister told Sunday World he has also briefed his lawyers to further pursue Zakhele for defamation of character in a separate civil matter.
Mantashe told the police that he was alerted when he was sent a video by his wife Nolwandle Mantashe of Zakhele making the remarks while addressing people in Ekurhuleni.
