This comes despite legal threats from Motsepe, the BLF says it will not back down and apologize for making public statements about his and/or his sister’s alleged meddling in Botswana.

According to The Citizen’s report, Motsepe’ legal team responded to Mngxitama’s accusation that he and his sister, Bridgette Motsepe-Radebe, are involved in ‘underhanded political and business deals’ in Botswana. Mngxitama apparently also accused Motsepe-Radebe of planning to take over Botswana’s diamond industry.

Motsepe wants the BLF to apologize and stop making their accusations. However, the party released a statement that makes even more accusations. In the statement, the party also claimed that Julius Malema was bought by Motsepe and insist that the BLF is not for sale.

We received your letter dated 26 April 2019 demanding that we give an undertaking by 16:00 today that we shall make no further comment with regard to the alleged regime change activities of your client, the billionaire Mr. Motsepe.

We are not in a position to give such an undertaking because it would be tantamount to self-censorship and practically bowing to intimidation via the abuse of the law and its processes by one of the wealthiest families in South Africa.

We hold that money should not trump the truth and therefore we stand by the statements we have made. We take the alleged interference in the affairs of a sovereign state as a serious matter. The allegations against your client and his associates are damning, and the evidence is overwhelming. Our view is that Mr. Motsepe must desist with his attempts to bully BLF into silence and submission.

We have seen how that strategy worked with Julius Malema, who initially announced that he would be revealing evidence of how your client benefited from the R1.4 trillion [independent power producers] procurement at Eskom. It took just one meeting and perhaps a bit of exchanging of cash to buy the silence of Malema.

BLF is not for sale and we would not be intimidated by the power of money. Your client would assist us a great deal towards making any undertaking if he can tell us what exactly is untruthful in our statements. Right now his demand is a blanket demand for silence. As indicated above, we shall never self-censor. We wait for your client to clarify which of the following suggestions are not true:

2. Is Bridgette Motsepe [Radebe] not accused of being assisted by your client to buy the conference of the ruling party in Botswana?

3. Is it not true that both Bridgette Radebe and your client have vested interests in minerals?

As soon as we receive satisfactory responses to the above, we shall indicate our next cause of action.
