Claim 4: “Mpho Edward Malema was arrested in connection with a ghost fleet”
MISLEADING
While evidence confirms that Mpho Edward Malema's company (Maboela Forestry and Construction) was involved in a controversial R16m municipal vehicle fleet tender in Emfuleni, the term 'ghost fleet' usually refers to a specific type of fraud or a fictional novel (as seen in the search results). The evidence describes an 'unlawful awarding' of a fleet tender, but does not explicitly use the term 'ghost fleet' to describe the arrest, making the phrasing potentially misleading or a colloquialism not supported by the formal reports provided.
