Gauteng MEC for Education Panyaza Lesufi has officially retracted his allegations that AfriForum attempted to assassinate him and stalked his children.

Lesufi made these damning allegations during a media conference in Johannesburg on November 24 in 2019.

In a joint statement released by Lesufi and AfriForum on Sunday, Lesufi said he “regrets” the comments. “The MEC states that he is under regular attack from various sources and that his utterances should be viewed against such background,” the statement continued. The joint media statement is the result of mediation between the parties about Lesufi’s statements against AfriForum. The mediation was held after AfriForum’s legal team had instituted a libel action against Lesufi.
