Alleged Assassination Attempt On Mashatile A Fabricated Story

The Activists and Citizens Forum has labelled the alleged attempted assassination of Deputy President Paul Mashatile as a fabricated story.

Reports emerged over the weekend that the Deputy Presidents vehicle was shot at four times on the windscreen.

The forum argues that if the alleged incident did happen, the African National Congress ANC would have been informed about it.

This follows comments from the partys Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula that they didnt get any detailed report from Mashatiles office about the alleged incident.

Spokesperson for the forum, Dennis Bloem, says Mashatile is seeking sympathy votes in the ANC ahead of the partys 2027 National Conference.
