Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe has welcomed Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report that cleared him and his partner Gugu Mtshali of bribery allegations.

Newspapers which alleged in March that there had been improper dealings in a helicopter transaction with Iran, say it stands by its story.

The report alleged that Mtshali was implicated in soliciting a 104-million-Rands bribe to obtain a sanctions-busting deal with the Islamic Republic.

Madonsela says she found no evidence supporting the allegations.
