"We did not perform well in the 2024 elections. We lost our majority in Gauteng, Northern Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal, and in Mpumalanga, our support dropped from 78% to 50%," Mbalula said. “We have done our analysis as the national committee, and the National Working Committee will review the feedback from these engagements moving forward,” he said.
