Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula has laid ‘misinformation and name-dropping’ charges against SA Idols judge Somizi Mhlongo.

This comes after a live video by radio personality Dineo Ranaka and Mhlongo at the Metro FM studios went viral.

In the video, Mhlongo disclosed to his colleague Ranaka and Metro FM listeners that President Cyril Ramaphosa would extend the lockdown by two weeks, adding that he had received the ‘leaked’ and exclusive information from Mbalula.

The video sparked a debate on social media about Mbalula sharing confidential and sensitive government information before the President shared it with the nation, with many deeming it irresponsible.
