Mampuru said the Facebook comment was fake and that he was first notified about it in October last year. He had since received it on Facebook‚ Twitter and Instagram.
“You can’t control how people think. You can’t control how naughty people think.”
Mampuru believes he is being targeted for being a vocal supporter of expropriation of land without compensation.
“I will never‚ not in a million years‚ call for the destruction of our country. I love this country more than I love myself. I love South Africa more than I love myself.”
Mampuru believes whoever created the comment is taking a cheap shot by playing the race card.
“It shows that there are people who don’t have any intention to see us (South Africans) united and they’re using propaganda to discredit our organisation (EFF) and to discredit me and to discredit what our people believe in.”
Mampuru said however the white minority should not decide over the black majority of South Africans.
“I believe that we must not have the majority without the land and the minority with the land. That is what I believe in.”
