Masutha denies Mentor’s claims that he dated a married woman

Minister of Justice and Correctional Services Michael Masutha has denied allegations made by former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor that he dated a married woman.

On Friday, Mentor shared on Facebook about a Judy, short for Judith, from Johannesburg, who joined parliament mid-term during Mentor’s parliament days and was made to sit next to her in the chamber.

“This lady very soon dated Malusi Gigaba, and much later dated [Michael] Masutha as well, this even though she was married,” Mentor alleged.

However, the minister has denied the allegations, saying the claims made by Mentor were “entirely untrue”.

“It is the minister’s view that such slandering should not be entertained in the media,” he said in a statement.
