Gauteng MEC lays criminal charges against EFF's Mandisa Mashego
10 June 2019
Gauteng Human Settlements MEC Lebogang Maile has laid criminal charges against Gauteng EFF leader, Mandisa Mashego, at the Alexandra police station.
He has also threatened civil action against the EFF.
Accompanied by his lawyer, Mashudu Tshivhase, Maile opened a crimen injuria case against Mashego on Monday morning over her remarks that he was a thug and a liar, and that he had benefitted from the embattled Alexandra Urban Renewal Project.
Maile claimed his image was tarnished after Mashego addressed Alexandra residents during her recent visit there.
