Trevor Manuel has written to JJ Tabane to request a retraction of allegations that he had a hand in the formation of Cope. If not, Manuel threatens to pursue legal action against the outspoken media personality.
"I am compelled to address you in relation to certain statements you made relating to and concerning me, among others. During the aforementioned interview, you boldly claimed that I and several others played a role in the formation of Cope.TREVOR MANUEL TO JJ TABANE: 'Withdraw false, unlawful statement' I was involved in Cope formation
The ANC national executive committee member also bemoaned the fact that Tabane was"an experienced, highly qualified media personality", whose utterances carried a lot of influence in public discourse. "Your statements and utterances shape and influence public opinion, more so than is ordinarily the case because of your stature and own media profile."
"This is all I will say about the 'revelations' by JJ Tabane. People should go back to what happened at the Hefer Commission, especially when my friends and comrades, Mo and Mac, faced Moerane, not to mention Vusi and Ranjeni. One would think that people then learned never to peddle lies."At the time of the founding of Cope, Manuel was an ANC NEC member and he remained a member until he stepped down at the 53rd National Conference, which convened in Mangaung in December 2012.
JKwritingz Freedom of speech is going to be key in this feud. How one interprets the intent of JJ Tabane and the interpretation by Trevor Manual. One can choose to not always respond, but then again, you want to maintain an image. Question - UDF or ANC which was a better option MrManual
JKwritingz Trevor has scandals the size of this country but he will use power to get away with it ...if he didn't form cope why is it a big deal tsek maan
JKwritingz He is not withdrawing anything. Just like Zuma's house in Dubai, he must grow some balls
