Sanef shocked by allegations Mantashe paid reporters for sex story to 'go away'

[yebocan]

Nothing can still beat Mr. Gigaga's pornhub moment.

I STAND under correction ... but again, apparently Tito tries his best to out beat/shine his predecessor ... #kotsinmymond

Google. Not much to look at but would have been enough to get the old goats' blood pumping.

Hell, I would hit that if it wasn't Gweezy's sloppy seconds. These guys are better than Zuma who didn't even have the decency to waste our stolen taxes on hotties.

Check her Instagram page, she looks a bit "uncultured" for a supposed slay queen

Lol, those text messages between her and Gwede

Somebody wanted to shag Gwedi ??

He's a blesser. It's basically prostitution, money for sex.

And that’s why Mboweni gets to be in charge of finances while Mantashe gets to be in charge of holes in the ground.

Mantashe is denying that he paid reporters, though there is no denial of the rest of the story. Perhaps the OP was exaggerated to catch media attention: https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/...-reporters-to-make-sex-story-go-away-20191029

The text messages (assuming the girl isn't lying, by the way the alleged Gwede suggests she deletes the messages in the screenshot before this one but she obviously took to screen capping them for insurance) suggest he spent R70k somewhere. (I'm not posting the crass sexual one).

Sunday World to Gwede Mantashe: Sue us, we stand by our story

The Sunday World newspaper has rejected Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe's denial that he claimed to have paid bribes to two of its reporters to bury an article about his alleged extramarital sex exploits.

Mantashe issued a curt statement on Tuesday morning denying the claims. "The statement attributed to [Mantashe] seems to have created an impression of him being involved in the act of bribery. Mr Mantashe is clear that none of the sort occurred."Further, attested to by the newspaper, there was no verification of these allegations prior to the publication of the story," the statement read.
But Sunday World editor Makhudu Sefara has hit back, saying he recorded his conversation with Mantashe. He challenged the minister to sue the newspaper.

"We reject the claim by the minister that he never said he paid two journalists. Not only did he say this to the reporter; I as the editor also called him to verify the claims that were in the article before me. Mr Mantashe, in very clear terms, told me that he paid the reporter's colleagues," Sefara told News24 on Tuesday.

Between a rock and a hard place

"Mr Mantashe is now between a rock and a hard place. He made the claim without, I suppose, applying his mind clearly to the seriousness of the claims he was making. Now, when he is required to provide evidence to back up his own claims, he changes his mind. He can't have his cake and eat it.

"We will contradict whatever Mr Mantashe is saying to distance himself from the case."

Sefara said he suspected Mantashe was "bluffing" to stop the newspaper from publishing the article about his affair.

It's a bit late for that

The ANC's national chairperson Gwede Mantashe recently said "there's a natural way to punish a woman in the bedroom, I don't understand why men use physical violence" during an interview with eNCA's Xoli Mngambi.

So how many other journalists and media houses accept bribes? This is definitely not an isolated incident.

Half-hearted denial:

ANALYSIS: No accountability as Mantashe, Presidency dodge bribery statements

Gwede Mantashe seems to be in trouble. He told the Sunday World he bribed to journalists to make an unflattering story about him go away. He's since issued a half-hearted "denial", but hasn't demanded a retraction. President Cyril Ramaphosa must act.

I agree with eusebius. Sex lives is private matter but gwede & 2 journalists should face consequences over bribe.
