Mandla Lamba, the founder and CEO of electric vehicle group Agilitee, has launched an extraordinary verbal attack on a former employee who won an arbitration ruling against the company, saying members of his movement must "make her sleep less at night".  
 

The threats against the former employee, as well as journalists, were issued in a 23-minute-long video that Lamba uploaded to his Facebook page, which has 33 000 followers. 
 

"I want all the members of this movement, for this time around, to make sure you make her sleep less at night," said Lamba, wagging his finger at the screen.

Lamba is the CEO, founder and co-director of Agilitee, a Gauteng-based electric vehicle and green tech company. 
 

Earlier this year, he was named chairperson of the struggling Pembury Lifestyle Group (PLG), whose shares have been suspended from the JSE since 2020. He was asked to step down as PLG chair at the end of June. 
 

His writeup on Agilitee's website states he is a "huge women advocate for transformation through bridging gender disparities".
 

Lamba rose to fame in 2010 by claiming to be South Africa's youngest billionaire with close ties to Cyril Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa denied any links to Lamba, calling the claims "mad".
