GCC Mayor Denies Bad Blood Between Him And Deputy

The two neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the audio. Rather the mayor expressed trust in his deputy and dismissed the contents of the audio.

“Maybe some people want to tarnish my deputy’s name. We have a good working relationship and we consult each other mostly. We also share the same interests such as developing the city and improving the lives of Batswana. This must be faked, no one can converse alone. I have not listened to the audio, but heard about it,” Maphongo told The Monitor on Saturday.
