News24.com | Gigaba on sex tape: ‘My wife and I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of’

You Need Posted on by

Embattled Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba said on Sunday he would meet President Cyril Ramaphosa soon amid mounting pressure for him to resign after Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane said he lied under oath and following the leaking of a private sex video.

“I’m not going to resign,” Gigaba told the privately owned eNCA television channel, but added “I will obviously be guided” by the President Cyril Ramaphosa and the African National Congress.

READ: Malusi Gigaba’s week from hell

Mkhwebane on Tuesday said the minister had lied in court while testifying last year in a case filed by a company controlled by the wealthy Oppenheimer family.

The court case hinged on whether Gigaba had approved a private terminal at Johannesburg airport for the Oppenheimers.

In an unrelated case, Gigaba, 47, last Sunday said on twitter he had been the target of extortion attempts by an opposition politician after a sex video emerged following what he described as theft by hacking.

The defiant Gigaba said he was not just simply trying to hang on to his job.

“It’s about fighting to protect my integrity and to protect my image and to ensure that I do not become a victim of devious political campaigns. I will not be trampled upon,” said the minister.

He said he would soon meet Ramaphosa “to put my side of the story”.

Speaking to public broadcaster SABC, Gigaba added that the leaking of the video had been politically motivated.

“We (Gigaba and his wife) have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of,” he said.

“I don’t have a problem…. It was intended to embarrass me, to decapacitate me politically, to humiliate me and my family publicly, to embarrass the African National Congress,” he said.

Mkhwebane recommended that Ramaphosa take disciplinary action against the minister for “telling an untruth under oath and before a court of law”.

Gigaba served as finance minister for a year under Jacob Zuma, who was ousted as president in February over corruption. When Ramaphosa succeeded Zuma, he moved him to the home affairs ministry in February 2018.

News24.com | ANC Western Cape lambasts education dept over racism allegations against top school

You Need Posted on by

The ANC of the Western Cape blasted the Western Cape Department of Education (WCED) following racism allegations aimed at Rustenburg Girls’ Juniour School after the retrenchment of a black teacher.

This followed a report by the Mail & Guardian on Friday that the teacher, Nozipho Mthembu, who was also a former pupil at the top school, had resigned after a fraught period in which her performance was questioned.

The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) was involved, the report said. The teacher said she did not experience racism, but had felt undermined and unsupported.

“The ANC is deeply concerned with the manner in which the young teacher was treated at the school and was forced to resign,” ANC Western Cape education spokesperson Theo Olivier said.

“It is also shocking that SGBs [school governing bodies] and principals at former Model C schools have become a law unto themselves and some oppose the country’s transformation agenda. This is what gives rise to the attitude of learners there that see black teachers as care takers and givers, but not real teachers.”

Olivier claims that education MEC Debbie Schafer and the WCED failed to act despite being aware of the situation.

“This shows that for as long as Schäfer remains in office, racism in Western Cape schools will continue unabated, as she appears to be opposed to transformation,” he added.

Schafer fired back by saying that Olivier was not acquainted with the full facts surrounding Mthembu’s resignation.

“As usual, their point of departure is that if a person of colour is dismissed, it must be racism,” she said in a statement.  

“He has clearly made no attempt to find out the facts in this matter, and whether there were good reasons for Ms Mthembu’s resignation.”

Schafer also claims that the department was not aware of allegations of racism involving Mthembu.

“At the time we were also not aware of allegations of racism involving this Educator. The Educator was employed by the School Governing Body and not the WCED,” she clarified.

“The Department therefore was not aware of the processes relating to the teacher’s appointment and subsequent resignation.”

She conceded that general issues regarding the lack of transformation at the school have been raised and said that the Head of Department is having discussions in order to resolve them.

“We are committed to building an inclusive society for all, and quality education for every child in every classroom in every school in the province, and will continue to work towards this,” Schafer said.
