Vytjie Mentor tells Cele she’s leaving SA because his wife is ‘on a yacht’ with Noma Gigaba
However, about six hours later she changed her mind.

An emotional Vytjie Mentor on Tuesday evening claimed to have been let down by Minister of Police Bheki Cele and said she wanted “out” of the country.
Addressing him on Facebook, she wrote that she had trusted him “with my life and the lives of my kids. I am heart broken beyond explanation. Keep your country, I want out, whichever way.”
The short open letter appears to relate to Mentor’s supposed need for protection from those who wish to kill her for her exposure of corruption in the country. Presumably, the police minister has not done a good enough job to ensure her safety.
Some of her supporters suggested setting up a fund to pay for private security for her.
In another post, she said South Africa was a “f**ked up country” and she would rather be a refugee somewhere else.

Earlier, it was clear that she lost faith in Cele when she became aware of the alleged fact that his wife was on some sort of yacht cruise near Greece with Minister Malusi Gigaba’s wife Noma, “splashing it all over!”
The Citizen will be attempting to get comment from either minister today about this allegation.
Mentor has in the past written several posts against Gigaba, who she accuses of being central to the Guptas’ and President Jacob Zuma’s state capture project, particularly in the signing of a nuclear agreement with Russia.
Mentor concluded: “Maybe I need to begin to accept reality and to prepare myself for seeking Asylum. I am not safe in this country anymore, and maybe I need to accept that there is no hope left anymore…”
However, a few hours later she was back to fighting form, writing, in all caps in the small hours of Wednesday morning: “I AM STILL IN THIS COUNTRY AND I WILL FIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXPOSE CORRUPTION. THEY WILL HAVE TO KILL ME TO SHUT ME UP. I AM HERE TO STAY AND TO FIGHT ON.”
Mentor has made outrageous claims in the past, including that Gigaba is actually a Zimbabwean, that Zuma was an apartheid spy, and that someone is somehow in control of the weather and secretly causing the Western Cape drought to punish DA voters.
