Public Protector Accused of Being a CIA Agent

The South African Deputy Defence Minister,Kebby Mathapsoe has accused Public Protector Thuli Madonsela of being a CIA plant and of undermining the ANC and the government to create a puppet regime for the US. He is the latest high-profile and senior government member to launch an attack on the public protector. He said “We can’t allow people to hijack the ANC. We’ll fight and defend the African National Congress. UThuli umele asitshele ukuthi ubani ihandler yakhe (Thuli must tell us who her handler is).” In a follow up he then  told Parliament that The Star got it wrong when reporting on Monday that he accused Public Protector Thuli Madonsela of being a CIA spy at the unveiling of a tombstone in Soweto at the weekend. But then a few hours later, he apologised and withdrew his comments, in his capacity as chairman of the MK Military Veterans Association (MKMVA). “After consultation with my organisation, the ANC, it would seem as though my statements have been misunderstood and misinterpreted. I therefore withdraw those statements and apologise for any offence and hurt that would have been caused. The ANC has affirmed its support for Thuli Madonsela's office and said comments by Kebby Maphatsoe about her alleged CIA ties were "unfortunate".
