'I don't want to talk about sex now, I want to talk about the conference,' Mantashe says after alleged sexting
12 December 2017
Cape Town – ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe on Monday laughed off claims that he had been engaging in WhatsApp conversations with a student as alleged in a Weekly Xposé article.
"I don't want to talk about sex now. I want to talk about the conference," Mantashe told News24 when contacted for comment.
Screenshots published by the website include sexually explicit messages allegedly from Mantashe to the 23-year-old woman after she apparently asked about a national executive committee meeting.
The publication alleged that Mantashe also requested nude photos, which the woman sent.
