Controversial ANC MP Jacob Boy Mamabolo has apologised to EFF leader Julius Malema and his wife Mantoa, for claiming the firebrand politician abused her.
Johannesburg - Controversial ANC MP Jacob Boy Mamabolo has apologised to EFF leader Julius Malema and his wife Mantoa, for claiming the firebrand politician abused her, in Parliament and on other platforms.
Malema’s lawyer Ian Levitt on Thursday told Independent Media that a court order was agreed upon between the parties on Wednesday, with Mamabolo also accepting that he will have to pay Malema’s legal costs.Levitt warned that if Mamabolo did not apologise he will be in contempt of court. In the purported court order published on social media, Mamabolo offered a sincere and unreserved apology to the Malema’s for his unfortunate comments. ”It was indeed uncalled for. No one should falsely accuse anyone, or even joke about gender-based violence. I understand that this put not only you in harm but also your children,” reads the document.
Ramaphosa never responded directly to Malema’s accusations but condemned the use of gender-based violence for political points-scoring.Mantoa had said she would never let any man abuse her or ever look away when other women are abused. ”I’m nurturing three boys of my own, and they will grow up to become gentlemen. I cannot make them gentle and responsible men by concealing violence in my own home and private space, doing so will be teaching them that violence can be tolerated.”
