ANC elections boss Fikile Mbalula tells those with ‘desires for power’ to put a sock in it until after local elections
This act, charged Mbalula, was an unnecessary distraction and, if not nipped in the bud, would defocus the party from what matters most now — the upcoming local government polls.
“We have called him [Mabuza] to order and everybody involved with that discussion. We will have the whole year to discuss leadership,” said Mbalula. “So anyone who has got an uncontrollable desire for power and decides to basically speak about leadership, they are completely off the rail,” he went on.
“A political party as big as the ANC cannot be that stupid to discuss things that do not matter. The issue of who becomes the president or becomes what-what is a non-debate now.”ANC national chairperson Gwede Mantashe’s name has been among those discussed in ANC circles as a candidate for the deputy presidency.
