One of South Africa’s most prolific opposition politician has received death threats.
The African Transformation Movement (ATM) president Vuyolwethu Zungula has said that his life is in danger.
He is one of the most prolific politicians on the country and he is never afraid of challenging the ruling party.
He has stated that ANC members have been threatening him and he does not feel safe anymore.
He said that an untraceable number sent a message to him saying: “You have dug your own grave cause you talk too much, we on your chief.”
That is not the only retreat he received. It is alleged that he also received more threats on his phone.
Another message read “Hey chief, we are watching you, first, it was the formations of your party, then a vote of no confidence now it is the funding of the parties. You are playing with fire, we are watching your moves, watch your back chief.”
But the ANC have have now hit back at Zungula accusing him of dragging their name into the mud.
The sentiments came from ANC national spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri.
She stated that her party has never threatened Zungula or anyone.
She said that the ANC is never a violent party and thatbtye people who are threatening him are not members of the ruling party.
She requested Zungula not to use the ANC name unless he brought concrete evidence suggesting the party’s members in good standing threatened him.
According to Zungula, the messages could have been because of his remarks on the report by acting public protector Kholeka Gcaleka exonerating Ramaphosa on the Phala Phala saga of any wrongdoing.
Zungula undoubtedly now fears for his life.
