South African MP Says Domestic Worker Tried to Extort Money

Former higher education and training deputy minister Mduduzi Manana says he intends laying a complaint against his domestic worker for allegedly trying to extort R100 000 from him - though police have not confirmed that such a charge has been laid. Manana's statement comes after the domestic worker filed a common assault complaint, alleging he had tried to push her down the stairs of his Johannesburg home. She then withdrew the charge.
