'We are not for sale' - MK vets deny Bell Pottinger links
10 July 2017
Johannesburg – The Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association (MKMVA) has rubbished allegations that British PR company Bell Pottinger assisted it with media statements.
MKMVA president Kebby Maphatsoe in a statement said the organisation had never met with Bell Pottinger to receive any coaching on how to analyse or understand the South African political reality.
"We do not need to be told anything about our own experiences by a foreign PR company. Allegations of this nature are deeply insulting, they are patronising and downright racist," said Maphatsoe.
The organisation said this after allegations surfaced in an amaBhungane #GuptaLeaks report.
