Watch: BLF leader asks journal

Shortly after the Johannesburg High Court granted an interdict against Black First Land First and its leader Andile Mngxitama, the controversial figure — you now you’re a bit extra when even the EFF doesn’t want you — took questions outside the court buildings.

The South African National Editor’s Forum (Sanef) sought to interdict BLF from intimidating journalists after the organisation started targeting media houses who the nefarious comings and goings of the Gupta family and those connected to them.

True to form Mngxitama kicked the session off by bringing race into it, asking a British journalist whether he has apologised for colonialism, jeered on by other BLF supporters.

Undeterred — it is, after all, Mngxitama’s go-to move to drag race into any and all situations –, the journalist pushed the BLF leader for answers on what he thinks about the Guptas and the #GuptaLeaks emails, to which the controversial figure gave his textbook response: it was all made up by white folks.

Mngxitama — who has been named alongside a string of politicians and business leaders in the leaked emails detailing alleged state capture and corruption by the Gupta family and their allies — said he has no problem asking the Guptas for money… seemingly also okay with the fact that that money has reportedly been taken illegally fro the taxpayer.
