Former International Relations minister Naledi Pandor has denied that she financed her house through a bond from the infamous and now defunct VBS Mutual Bank.
This comes after Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema made the claim during an interview with SABC News on Tuesday, 17 September.
NALEDI PANDOR REFUTES CLAIMS SHE TOOK A BOND FROM VBS MUTUAL BANK
During the interview, Malema said many African National Congress (ANC) leaders other than justice minister Thembi Simelane benefitted from VBS.
Following the allegations, Pandor said Malema’s claim is baseless.
“I unequivocally deny ever receiving such a bond and challenge Mr Malema to publicly present the evidence supporting this falsehood. Should he fail to do so, I demand a public apology for not only lying about me but tarnishing my reputation,” she said.
Additionally, Pandor said he is disappointed in Malema’s dishonesty.
“As a leader of a political party represented in Parliament, I am deeply disappointed by Malema’s dishonesty. It is appalling that he would resort to such low tactics in an attempt to damage my good name,” Pandor said.
