“They have even sold a story to the rest of the world that where [the DA] governs [it] governs well, and the world believes them.”
leaders had allowed the blue party to create a narrative that it governed better than the governing party. on Saturday, which will see it electing new provincial leadership, since its disbanding in 2019. Mbalula said that delegates must not be persuaded to vote for certain individuals via bribes, adding that ANC members should instead be convinced by “deeds and standing” that candidates deserve to be elected.
The ANC had “allowed” the DA to perpetuate those lies and distortions, he added, because of its own infighting, by being “at each other’s throats for temporary power”. Former Hawks head Anwar Dramat is hoping to be elected as the provincial chair, while Western Cape interim provincial committee convenor Thandi Manikivana is hoping to be elected as the deputy chairperson. He said that the Western Cape conference must be understood in the context of the poor, and that the DA did not represent the poor of the province.
“We’ve got rules in the ANC, and checks and balances. We will decide if the president has to step aside at some point because he’s got to answer from a point of accountability. He will step aside [if the party decides he must]. There’s no problem. The president will step aside so there’s no crisis. There is no crisis of leadership in the ANC.” “So comrades, Phala Phala, all of those issues have been processed as we speak,” said Mbalula.
Mbalula called for Zondo to allow the National Prosecuting Authority’s national director of public prosecutions, Shamila Batohi, to do her job.
