Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula took to Twitter to call MKMVA spokesperson Carl Niehaus out. He accused Niehaus of being out of order after Niehaus shared a post of an ANC function that featured the radical economic transformation policy (RET).

Earlier, Briefly News reported that Carl Niehaus has served transport minister Fikile Mbalula with an R8 million defamation lawsuit. The Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association (MKMVA) spokesperson claims that Mbalula's 'thug' post damaged his reputation.
The Twitter post dates back a couple of months when Mbalula went online to allegedly attack Niehaus and MKMVA president Kebby Maphatsoe. Mbalula called them criminals according to Times Live.
Niehaus accuses Mbalula of telling the whole country that he is corrupt. Niehaus said that the message of the tweet was amplified when Newzroom Afrika posted a story about it.
In other news, Minister Fikile Mbalula recently told Parliament that he was working on fixing the Passenger Rail Agency of SA. According to Fikile he is already working on some "ambitious" projects to help the agency get back on its feet.
Mbalula also said that all those involved in crippling the ailing agency would be brought to justice after the agency received a disclaimed audit opinion for two years in a row from the Auditor General, who remarked that the agency had unreliable financial statements and a lack of financial discipline.
