He said instead of the DA playing politics, it should play a more meaningful role and stop creating a “monster” out of him in the public eye.
“I invite the DA to play a more meaningful role in creating that ideal and stop personalising matters that can be debated in the legislature. They should stop playing in the public gallery to create a monster out of me personally and sway perception in their favour.
“Our people are not stupid. It makes me wonder where we would be had we not been brave enough to resist the DA takeover of Gauteng, a call they so desperately yearn for. My message to the DA is: try harder, masters — the slaves have woken up and smelt the coffee.”
The DA has threatened to approach the auditor-general and public protector to investigate why the forensic reports have not been made public.
Lesufi remains unshaken. Earlier this week, he posted screenshots on X claiming he had released all the reports in 2022, and that he was not premier during the period some of the reports cover.
“Try harder! I released all the reports on December 12 2022, two months after I took office. We wish to know which reports exactly we are hiding, name and title of those reports.
“[I have] nothing to hide. Every time the SIU concludes an investigation, we release their report unless the SIU advises otherwise,” Lesufi said.
