Corruption-accused Kodwa rubbishes claims he is behind voice note criticising ANC

JOHANNESBURG - Embattled former minister of arts and culture, Zizi Kodwa, has rubbished claims that he was behind a circulating voice note criticising the African National Congress (ANC).

In the clip, which has gone viral, a man can be heard making claims that the ANC had pushed out radical left-wing parties in favour of white business owners.

Kodwa was arrested and appeared in court last week on corruption and bribery charges.

The disgraced minister has, in a statement, slammed accusations that he was responsible for the controversial voice note.

In the recording, a deep voice can be heard making damning allegations about the ANC, its president, Cyril Ramaphosa, and the South African economy.

Other allegations include so-called control by political parties on a range of matters.

One post shared on social media platform, X, was littered with comments suggesting that the voice was without a doubt Kodwa's.

The former minister has, however, pleaded with the public to refrain from sharing the content, labelling it destructive mischief.
