Solly Msimanga sues ANC Tshwane leaders for calling him 'poster boy of corruption'
13 December 2018
Tshwane Mayor Solly Msimanga has decided to take on his two main detractors, ANC regional chairperson Kgosi Maepa and ANC caucus spokesperson Lesego Makhubela, suing them for R3m.
This after the two led months of attacks against him and the DA-led municipality over the awarding of a multimillion-rand tender to Midrand-based engineering firm GladAfrica.
News24 has seen the combined summons filed in the North Gauteng High Court on Thursday in which Msimanga complains about comments made by Maepa during media briefings and an interview with Talk Radio 702, as well as over claims made by Makhubela on Facebook.
Maepa labelled the mayor "the new poster boy of corruption", calling him that numerous times during media briefings and on the radio station.
