Mokonyane launches scathing attack on Julius Malema over ‘money calls’
Insults get traded after EFF leader called for eight days in a row looking for payments for ‘funders’
A "hurt" Water and Sanitation Minister and ANC National Executive Committee member‚ Nomvula Mokonyane‚ has launched a scathing attack on EFF leader Julius Malema. Mokonyane accused Malema of calling her eight days in a row in December wanting money. Mokonyane was addressing the ANC Amathole regional executive committee induction workshop at the Osner Hotel in East London on Monday. She said she had initially opted to take the heat "because it comes with the job" and not respond to Malema for insulting her when he said she was controlled by businessman Luvo Makasi.

"I picked up his call and guess what?
