South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana denied an allegation of sexual harassment, after being informed that a case was opened against him. An employee in the Kruger National Park who was offering massage services to guests in their rooms opened the case a week after the minister visited the wildlife reserve, his office said in a statement on Sunday. “Minister Godongwana categorically denies this allegation,” Mfuneko Toyana, Godongwana’s spokesman, said in the statement.
The case presents the risk that if he’s charged, the governing African National Congress may ask him to step down as a member of the party’s National Executive Committee, under it’s so-called step aside rule. That would bring pressure to bear on President Cyril Ramaphosa to either suspend or replace Godongwana as minister. The minister hasn’t received official communication from the police about the case, according to the statement.
