The president of the Progressive Professionals’ Forum (PPF) Mzwanele ‘Jimmy’ Manyi has reportedly threatened legal action against #FeesMustFall activist Mcebo Dlamini for allegedly calling him a “lame horny old donkey” on a WhatsApp group.
According to a News24 report, a widely circulated screenshot of a WhatsApp group called Open Politics shows how a person named Mcebo Dlamini calls an individual named Jimmy Manyi a “lazy horny stinky donkey”.
“Remember how you came to Wits and you wanted to f*ck Nompendulo [Mkhatshwa]? Remember how you gave her 40k so you can harvest her,” Dlamini’s alleged message reads.

Manyi is now considering suing Dlamini for “defamatory and character assassination assault”.
Speaking to the news website on Monday, Dlamini denied writing the message and said he had learnt of it through social media.
“No man, I have seen these things on social media, but I don’t know anything about it. Someone might be confusing me with someone else,” he said.
However, he did not comment on whether he was a member of the Open Politics group or if the group existed.
Manyi is, however, known for often threatening to sue for defamation. It’s unknown if this ever happens though.
