Mbalula urges public to download Tbo Touch app to fight crime
25 April 2017
Pretoria - Police Minister Fikile Mbalula has urged the public to download an app by well-known radio personality Tbo Touch to help with fighting crime.
News24 reported on Monday that it was alleged in court papers that Wandile Bozwana, a tender mogul and ANC benefactor from North West, who was shot dead in Pretoria in October 2015, had earlier instructed a Bloemfontein law firm to pay Thabo "Tbo Touch" Molefe an amount of R1m. The money was earmarked for Mbalula.
A reliable source told News24 that the payment was made in 2015, shortly before Mbalula and Molefe embarked on a controversial trip to Las Vegas to attend a boxing match between international superstars Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Mbalula was the minister of sport at the time of the trip. "There are many apps. You know there is an app that we download everyday - it’s called Touch HD," Mbalula said at a briefing in Pretoria on Tuesday.
"It’s a radio station. I want you to download that app on your cellphones to fight criminality."
