The cat is back – Mpumalanga Premier Mabuza
Mbombela - Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza has warned his detractors the time for mice running around the provincial government headquarters spreading rumours that he was insane or dead had ended.
Mabuza became the centre of attention during his triumphant return to his offices at the government complex in Mbombela on Tuesday morning.
Scores of African National Congress (ANC) members, government employees and journalists gathered to welcome him and hear his side of the story.
"Few people appeared saying I am mad. That is serious hatred. Others said 'he is dead' while I am alive.
“What does a rat... do when the cat is not around? The rat does whatever it wants. When they ask where is the cat? They say he's not available. They say the cat is not here. No, the cat is back... Know the cat is back... The mice are going to run," Mabuza said.
