Elections2019: Ramaphosa backer asks to be removed from ANC list
Parliament - A former staunch backer of Cyril Ramaphosa ahead of the ANC's 2017 elective conference, Mzwandile Mkhwanazi, has pulled out of the race to go to the National Assembly in Cape Town, allegedly telling his close comrades that accepting the deployment would mark the end of his political career.
According to a close comrade of Mkhwanazi, he politely wrote a letter to KZN provincial secretary of the ANC, Mdumiseni Ntuli, and asked not to be included, hence his name was not on the final list of the members the party will send to Cape Town.
