Mmusi Maimane took to twitter to refutes claims made by News 24 sister publication Rapport that he refused to return the white Toyota fortuna that was gifted to him by Steinhof Joste. In the report by Rapport, Jooste made the white Toyota Fortuner available for Maimane to use during the 2016 local government elections."The complete lies that I refused to hand the car back once the Steinhof scandal broke. I campaigned in Joburg and we wrote a letter sending the car back. I have since used my personal vehicle for work purposes.— Mmusi Maimane (@MmusiMaimane) September 29, 2019" he tweeted.
Maimane believes that there are people who are in a campaign to tarnish his reputation
"The smear campaign continues. These are gutless individuals who will not be named and instead spread lies about me and my family. I have always sought to build a South Africa for All. I remain committed to that vision, regardless of how uncomfortable it may make others feel". - (@MmusiMaimane) September 29, 2019
To add fuel to the burning fire, few weeks ago the City Press reported that Maimane had declared a R4m house in the Cape Town suburb in a parliamentary register, despite the home never belonging to him.
The irony is that Maimane has been very vocal about Cyril Ramaphosa'Bosasa donation which was gifted to CR17 during ANC's Presidential campaign. The DA was also vocal and against Steinhof curruption or fraud when the story broke out yet their leader was busy driving around in a donated fortuna according to the reports.
