A RILED UP finance minister Tito Mboweni took to Twitter on Monday night and accused Jacob Zuma of exaggerating his struggle credentials, saying that ANC veteran and former intelligence minister Joe Nhlanhla was the party’s Chief of Intelligence, and not the former president as he often claimed.
Mboweni, in a series of explosive tweets, challenged Zuma to come out in the open and prove his unsubstantiated, baseless claims that he was once the Head of ANC’s Intelligence Department.
“Someone in the ANC might help about this for historical reasons. Was Joe Nhlanhla not Head of Security and Intelligence in the ANC? That is my recollection from the PMC structure! But I was junior then,” said Mboweni.
Mboweni also tweeted: “He has, over the years, over-exaggerated his role in intelligence! We have known each other over many years. I think that he has now crossed the LINE!”
