Here’s what went on WhatsApp between Fransman and his accuser

Western Cape African National Congress (ANC) leader Marius Fransman’s lawyer says that he would prefer to have his day in court sooner‚ rather than later‚ in order to clear his name.

Fransman is back in the spotlight after several cellphone messages – some of them flirtatious – from him to the young woman he allegedly sexually harassed‚ Louisa Wynand‚ were revealed by the Daily Maverick.

Here is an edited version of those messages:

Fransman 0021: “Yesday. Start Monday. Remember 1st week of workweek in jan!!! Leap of faith”

0022: “also don’t indicate where u gona work. I know the owner.”

Wynand 0658: “Good morning. I just sent the e-mail but it is not going through can you please send it through again .. ”

0701: “okay it went through now let me know if you got it.”

F 0923: “Before 7am-impressed! Will check”

0927: “Read it. As Madjiet said CVs don’t tell much- its rather my 3 interactions with u that convince me”.

1215: “In any case did u sleep over our discussion? If so what u think?”

W 1217: “I spoke to **** (name withheld) this morning‚ told him im resigning he said he cant tell the gm today because hes going to let security evict me off the property ... immediately if I want to leave to start working for you tomorrow.”

F 1218: “so that’s fine. U can so long have accommodation”

1219: “I am listening to Imagine of John Lennon”.

W 1219: “So I am going to have to work out a notice period but I don’t know how long. Lae states that I have to at least do two weeks tho.”

F 1219: “Hope u will learn to

sing that”.

Fransman discusses logistics of the move and tells Wynand he is leaving for Rustenberg the following day. Wynand responds to his John Lennon reference: “Hahahah that’s not too hard I sure I can learn that.”

F 1339: “so you will sort out getting stuff to ur parents or must I still get ballot” .. “I mean baklie”… “Bakkie”.

W 1341: “For cape town yes but my parents will sort one fir taking my stuff to their house‚ thanx anyway.”

F 1349: “Kewl. then c tomrow. Also it is hot that side. informal gear and sensual.”

W 1351: “Okay got it!!”

F 1352: (smiley face)

1402: “Forgot to ask. Pl don’t tell your bf you working fr me. Don’t need jealous guys around.”

W 1413: “hes not that type and ill handle my personal life very discreetly‚ I dont mix business with pleasure either‚ so don’t worry I know how to handle it.”

F 1421: “Good..but hey there will be pleasure in business?”

W 1429: “I know yes!!”

F 1431: “Why u say that?”

 W 1900: “lmk noit my kamer is te demekaar nou” (lol my room is too untidy)
