'I am a minister of the state; it is not about whether we know each other or not, it is not about Mbalula and Somizi, it is about the law and the crisis we are facing as a country' — Fikile Mbalula

In his explanation about what transpired, Mhlongo said the notion that Mbalula had divulged information regarding the extension of the lockdown to him was “a joke” and that he “did not know about the extension just like everybody else”.

“I have followed procedure and the matter is now in the hands of the police to investigate. I have engaged law enforcement.” “Granted that Mbalula has denied ever speaking to Somizi regarding what [the latter] has called a joke, today Mbalula will open a case again Somizi. The fact is that this discussion is taking place; it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, what matters is that someone possibly had a discussion about Cabinet matters. If the minister did, it is a breach of security clearance, requirements and regulations.

“Just like all perpetrators, the best thing for [Mhlongo] to do is present himself to the nearest police station because making a joke about Covid-19 and the president’s announcement is, by extension, an admission of guilt.

Be a bigger man minister, this here is a non issue !

Why didn't they arrest Stella as yet?

There is something fishy here. Opening a case doesnt make him innocent, police must investigate the interactions between the 2 after a cabinet meeting where a decision was communicated.

Police must investigate, some fishy here. Opening a case doesnt make him innocent.
