Deputy Finance Minister David Masondo has defended himself after the ANC’s Integrity Commission ordered him to step down from his position after unleashing the Hawks on his pregnant mistress.

Masondo, who is a member of the governing party’s powerful national executive committee, has told the commission that he reported the matter to the Hawks after the woman harassed and tormented his family including his wife, sister, brother and brother-in-law.“The harassment included death threats and threats to the safety of my children.

He said he was advised to report the matter in his personal capacity and that as a public official he has more responsibility to report the matter to the Hawks. He approached the Commission for Gender Equality because he felt he should account for his actions and seek guidance.
