Catching Pokemons‚ shooting the sheriff and other #ThingsMmusiDid
With elections less than 24 hours away‚ Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane is still being battered on social media for claiming he voted for the late Nelson Mandela.
Mayihlome Tshwete‚ spokesperson for Home Affairs‚ took to Twitter to question Maimane’s claims after he said that said that he voted for Madiba to take the presidency for a second term in office in the 1990s.
“IEC needs to explain how Mmusi voted for Mandela at age 14 … we need answers‚” Tshwete tweeted on Monday.

“At the party’s Phetogo Rally in Dobsonville over the weekend the leader reaffirmed the DA’s commitment to Tata Madiba’s vision and values.
“In 1999‚ the leader voted for an ANC which still espoused Tata Madiba’s values; these values have since become non-existent in Zuma’s ANC‚ which is now synonymous with racism‚ corruption‚ undermining of the Constitution‚ and a failed economy‚” the statement said. – Tiso Black Star Group Digital
