THE PRESIDENCY REJECTS MALEMA’S ALLEGATION ABOUT A RECENT WORKING VISIT TO DUBAI

The Presidency rejects the preposterous and malicious allegation by Mr Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, that President Jacob Zuma carried R6 billion to Dubai for the Gupta family. Mr Malema’s allegation has no basis in fact. 

President Zuma recently concluded successful visits to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to strengthen bilateral trade and economic relations between South Africa and the two countries respectively. 

Mr Malema’s malicious allegations are both untruthful and defamatory. The Presidency reserves its rights in this regard.
