South Africans don't believe him

Netizens on Facebook were not eager to accept his explanation.

Shadrack Uncl Shad Mashaba said:

"EFF guys dismiss everything. We're used to them.

Malome Thoko said:

"Let Dr Mbuyiseni tell his side of the story, then."

Robert Mahal said:

"So Ndlozi can't speak for himself anymore."

Chris Boyoyo said:

"This is damage control. All along, they kept quiet and did not refute the allegations. They are under pressure from the branches to do away with the ban. Malema is afraid Ndlozi can be nominated from the floor. He is just paranoid."
