# ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has accepted an apology from activist Anele Mda after the High Court in Pretoria dismissed her application to appeal a defamation ruling. The court found Mda’s social media posts linking Mbalula to the murder of North West businessman Wandile Bozwana were defamatory and unproven. The tender tycoon died in hospital after he and his business associate, Betty Baloyi, were shot on the N1 highway in Pretoria 2015. Mda has retracted her statements. Mbalula stressed the importance of protecting reputations against false allegations.
