JOHANNESBURG - Former ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe is up in arms following the alleged theft of his R300 000 Rolex watch.

He has accused Central Energy Fund (CEF) official Bongani Khumalo of stealing the pricy item and has opened a case against him. The matter is being handled by the provincial police.

Mabe and Khumalo were at a meeting at Steyn City when he realised his watch was missing. In video footage seen by TimesLIVE, Khumalo allegedly leaned down to pick up an object, believed to be the watch, off the floor.
