Taking to Twitter, Sinawo Tambo labelled the author “a drunkard who writes lies” and said “Brandy and coke” inspired Pauw to write a book.

Tambo also used the opportunity to poke fun at Pauw and bring to light an incident from 2021 in which he claimed he was mistreated by police and arrested following an incident at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.

According to TimesLIVE, Pauw claimed he was not entirely honest about the incident and apologised. He also said he drank too much.

Here’s what Mzansi has to say about Tambo’s remarks:

@Dit3bogo said:

“Now I’m curious about what’s in the book.”

@Maplotter1 commented:

“He may be “the man with the drunk pen” as you claim but his investigation skills have initiated many criminal cases and court cases.”

Fraser has slammed these accusations, challenging the ‘wrongful, defamatory and false’ statements made, adamant that they had been ‘propaganda’ to blemish his reputation as a civil servant and businessman.
