Deputy Minister in the presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Mmapaseka Steve Letsike, did not take podcaster, Macgyver Mukwevho, better known as MacG’s, uttering vulgar comments about Minnie Dlamini lying down.
This is evident as the minister is fighting to have the Podcast and Chill host summoned in parliament and account in line with Section 56 of the Republic of South Africa.
On the podcast he hosts with Ghost Lady and Sol Phenduka, he shared his views on why Minnie’s relationship with Dr Brian Monaisa ended, where he said: “Maybe her coochie smells or something.” telling his co hosts and their guest for that day, Mashabela.
Mmapaseka revealed in the statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) that if MacG does not appear before parliament without a valid reason, he may be liable for a fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 12 months, or both.
“What is most alarming is that MacG has a known history of disparaging Minnie and various other women on the same platform, some of whom are reported to have initiated civil proceedings to reclaim their constitutional rights and dignity, which have been savagely molested by MacG’s uncouth verbal temperament,” read the statement.
