TMG Digital/The Times reports that the SA National Defence Union (Sandu) is contemplating criminally charging Deputy Defence Minister Kebby Maphatsoe.
The union‚ which will announce its decision on Friday after a meeting of its national executive committee (NEC)‚ is concerned about Maphatsoe and his involvement in the Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association's intention to defend the ANC's Luthuli House in Johannesburg. Hundreds of MK Vets are set to descend on Johannesburg on Friday in response to thousands of protesters who will gather in the city to call for the ousting of President Jacob Zuma. Anti-Zuma protesters originally planned to march on Luthuli House, but for reasons of safety the march is now scheduled to end in Mary Fitzgerald Square. Sandu general secretary‚ Pikkie Greeff‚ confirmed that a debate on whether to criminal charge Maphatsoe or not would be held when the union's NEC meets.
