Sport Minister Fikile Mbalula has denied allegations that he was also offered his position by the Gupta family.
This comes after Mcebisi Jonas shocked the nation when he confirmed reports that have been doing rounds that he was offered the axed Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene's job.
The allegations were made by Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema who called him out in public on Twitter.
Malema tweeted: "Hope @MbalulaFikile will also confirm that he was offered the sport ministry by the Guptas & unlike Jonas he accepted it and complained later."
Mbalula has denied the allegations, labelling them as "simply provocation".
“What you are saying is simply provocation. I was never offered any job by anyone. I’m not accountable to you but to ANC NEC," he tweeted.
The Sports Minister did not just end it there, he continued to poke holes in Malema's story saying that when he first made the claims, he said that the Guptas called and told him he will be appointed and that he was now saying the family "offered" him the position.
"Continued abuse of inaccurately putting out information you were privy to in the ANC is flatly immature. As a member in good standing of the ANC I will raise any of my concerns within it. Peddling of inaccuracies is low," said Mbalula.
