Deputy finance minister reportedly embroiled in scandal involving former lover

Deputy finance minister David Masondo has been accused of using his influence to have an alleged former lover of his arrested, investigative news outfit amaBhungane has reported.

Masondo’s lawyer, Victor Nkwashu, did not respond to a fresh request for comment, but told amaBhungane that the allegations were “opportunistic, malicious and spurious”. She was arrested in August and was held for a weekend, but never appeared before a magistrate, an experience she described to amaBhungane as “one of the most violent acts I have experienced”.

In July Masondo told parliament that his comments to Business Day on monetary policy were in no way an attempt to influence the Reserve Bank, the independence of which is guaranteed by the constitution.
