POLICE are investigating the possibility that Mpumalanga’s outspoken African National Congress Youth League secretary James Nkambule, may have petrol bombed his own car late last week. Nkambule has, however, vehemently denied any complicity in the incident and described the allegations as part of a wider smear campaign by his political opponents within the ANC. Nkambule was slightly injured when his Volkswagen Jetta was gutted during a mysterious firebomb attack at his Barberton house early on Thursday morning. Police have, however, failed to find any evidence of a petrol bomb on the scene and are puzzled how the alleged attackers could have got over Nkambule-s razor wire-topped eight-foot security wall and barbed security gate.
