MBALULA S DICK DRAMA
Minister furios and plans to sue website over fake penis 'selfie'
SPORTS Minister Fikile Mbalula is thinking about taking legal action against a website that allegedly faked his Twitter account.
The site also circulated a d**k selfie and claimed it belonged to the minister.
My legal team is looking into this matter. I think they have crossed the boundaries,” said Mbalula.
I asked my legal team to look into this because I don t want to make a meal over something that is immaterial.”
According to Mbalula, the website is run by a group of racists with the aim to defame and assassinate the characters of black celebrities and politicians.
They have written stuff about our people, including President Jacob Zuma.”
The website angered Mbalula when it published a story accompanied by a picture of a semi-erect penis under Mbalula s Twitter account RSA Minister of Sports.
The group claimed the minister had sent a tweet to Orlando Pirates footie Thandani Ntshumayelo s infamous ex Pulane Lenkoe. The fake tweet reads: pulane248 Thought I d DM you this minister dick in exchange for a nude.”
The website claimed Mbalula had accidentally posted the d**k selfie on his timeline while trying to send it as a direct message to Lenkoe.
Fikile Mbalula accidentally tweeted his dick while trying to DM Pulane. The tweet was deleted but we got you a screenshot.”
They claimed Mbalula deleted the tweet afterward.
Lenkoe gained notoriety on Twitter after her ex-boyfriend allegedly leaked her nudes.
An angry Mbalula said he explained to his followers that he did not post the picture.
He said the picture and tweeter account were fabricated by the website to portray him as a pervert.
I think people are resorting to unscrupulous means to try to demonise and remove me out of Twitter because they are jealous of me,” said Mbalula.
Because I m the only politician after Julius Malema with a large following on Twitter [about half a million followers].
But let me tell them that they are not going to win.”
In January, the minister, popularly known as Razzmatazz, was at pains to explain himself to the cyber public.
This was after his account was allegedly hacked.
In that incident, a semi-naked picture of a woman was posted on his Twitter timeline.
