Transport minister Fikile Mbalula has taken a dig at MKMVA spokesperson Carl Niehaus after he vowed to appeal his suspension from the ANC.
Attempts to get further comment from Mbalula were unsuccessful at the time of publishing this story. Comment will be included once received.“In the ANC, we have made mistakes, even ourselves ... but that Niehaus, he goes on and on. Non-stop, no brakes. By the time the ANC stops those brakes, we get some fluid to stop them, his movement will be gone,”The pair have publicly taken digs at each other over the past few months.
Mbalula's “thug” comment dates back to October, when he claimed certain members of the association were “thugs calling themselves veterans”. This after the association in Gauteng marched against Mbalula, demanding that he be arrested regarding the country's almost defunct train service.
