Mantashe takes a swipe at Magashule at NUM conference 🔒
ANC national chair Gwede Mantashe has taken a dig at his successor Ace Magashule, suggesting that had he been schooled by the National Union of Mineworkers like his three predecessors, he would not have made the blunders he did, including his attempt to suspend the president.
“We missed one now. We had another secretary [Magashule] who was not from NUM. I don't want to talk about what happened then. I am not here for that,” he said to heaps of laughter from delegates. “If you cling to that principle you will never plunge the organisation into chaos. Even if your successor or predecessor commits mistakes, you sneak quietly to him and say, ‘Listen, comrade, you don’t have the powers to fire the president’,” he said.[look here] comrade, it’s not the power of the SG to just wake up and write a letter to the president saying you are suspended'.
“The ANC must cleanse itself, it is busy with that. But what we should do, if we want to see corruption being an exception, together with factionalism, like the Chinese Communist Party, we must deal decisively with both of those negative factors,” he said.
