Defeat then, no chance now: Mbalula doubts opposition’s odds

Fikile Mbalula dismisses that any opposition party could successfully unseat the ANC from government, saying they are big dreamers.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula contends that the opposition’s inability to remove his party from power during the 2021 local government elections, when the ANC was perceived as vulnerable, suggests there are no grounds for them to believe they can do so presently.

Additionally, the party faced challenges regarding objections to the candidate list submitted to the IEC, with allegations of names being altered and substituted, causing further turmoil. “ Even if they say Zuma has hurt us we will not go below 50%, it’s not going to happen,” said Mbalula. In the 2021 local government election, the ANC experienced a significant setback as its support fell below 50% for the first time, resulting in hung municipalities nationwide.
