Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula has hit back at Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema accusing him of being provocative for saying that he was offered his position by the Guptas.
Following the startling admission yesterday evening by Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas that the Gupta family had offered him the position of Minister of Finance to replace Nhlanhla Nene‚ Malema was quick to tweet:
Hope @MbalulaFikile will also confirm that he was offered the sport ministry by the Guptas & unlike Jonas he accepted it and complained later.
To which Mbalula responded: “What you are saying is simply provocation. I was never offered any job by anyone. I’m not accountable to you but to ANC NEC.” — Tiso Black Star Group Digital
