ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula has pleaded with other party leaders implicated in evidence before the Zondo commission to testify.
Johannesburg - ANC head of elections and former sport and police minister Fikile Mbalula has pleaded with other party leaders implicated in evidence before the commission of inquiry into state capture to come forward and testify. Mbalula, who testified at the commission chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, refused to hold back as he revealed how he had advised fellow ANC members several years ago about the Gupta family’s influence in state affairs - but no one cared to listen.
Speaking on the sidelines after giving evidence, Mbalula said other ANC leaders, current and former cabinet ministers implicated in state capture, should state their cases.Meanwhile, Mbalula poured cold water on suggestions that revelations at the commission would harm the ANC’s election campaign ahead of the May 8 polls.
