Apleni’s allegations are ‘sick’ and ‘crazy’, says minister Hlengiwe Mkhize
Home Affairs Minister Hlengiwe Mkhize says allegations made by director-general Mkhuseli Apleni are "malicious and delusional". Apleni has accused Mkhize of asking him to help her settle a legal dispute her son was involved in. "This is an insult to my integrity. He [Apleni] is making me a ridiculous person who is not proper and fit to be in the position that I’m in‚" Mkhize said in an interview with Radio 702 on Thursday. Mhkize denied allegations that she had asked Apleni‚ who has been suspended from his position‚ to help her son settle a dispute with the department involving nearly R1m. Apleni has filed an urgent application in the High Court in Pretoria for a declaration that his suspension from his duties was "unconstitutional and invalid".
