ANC labels Zuma a sellout over MKP's position on Western Sahara conflict
Zuma recently travelled to the North African region to show solidarity for Morocco's control over the disputed territory.
The ANC has always advocated for the independence of the area for the Sahrawi people, including when Zuma was president of the party.
Speaking on the sidelines of a national working committee meeting in Cape Town on Sunday, ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula hit out at Zuma for the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party's bilateral with Moroccan officials, calling the about-turn unsurprising.
'Jacob Zuma represents everything that's wrong, that is pursued by sellouts and that's what it is. We as the ANC will fight side-by-side for the self-determination of the Sahwari people. We are in solidarity with them, and Morocco must stop the occupation of Western Sahara.'
Mbalula has also accused Zuma of stealing ANC assets to form his own political party, which has since become the main opposition in Parliament.
'To divide our people, weaken the ANC for his own personal aggrandisement is what he's been. He will be remembered for that by history.'

Struggle veterans in Endumeni call on municipalities to respect constitutional rights
ANC struggle veterans and members of the ANC Women's League gathered in Dundee last week to honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela and reflect on the sacrifices made during South Africa's liberation struggle. The joint engagement also served as a platform for raising urgent concerns around governance, service delivery and constitutional rights. Addressing the gathering, local struggle veteran Mzwakhe Sithebe said: 'The exorbitant billing by Umzinyathi, along with misleading estimates, continues to frustrate residents. There is a serious lack of public participation within both Umzinyathi and Endumeni municipalities. This is unacceptable.' Sithebe expressed full support for the community's pending legal action against the municipality for its failure to provide water. 'An increasing number of areas in Endumeni are experiencing dry taps. This is a clear violation of Sections 24 and 27 of the Constitution. The constitutional mandate is not being honoured.' He added that the 'renewed ANC is not inward-looking but responsive to people's needs', stressing that members are committed to building a party that remains a servant of the people. Other key concerns raised during the meeting included: The slow progress on land restitution, which members said must be prioritised to build a responsive state; Allegations of nepotism in municipal appointments, with preference reportedly given to relatives of officials; Councillors failing to hold regular constituency meetings; The absence of genuine public participation in local government despite it being a cornerstone of democracy outlined in the Freedom Charter and Section 152 of the Constitution. Sithebe concluded: 'The call that 'the people shall govern' must be more than just words. Our municipalities must reflect the will and needs of our communities.'

ANC defeats EFF and MK in Motherwell but is losing ground
The ANC retained a safe seat in the southern part of Motherwell, Nelson Mandela Bay, although it lost ground to the EFF and uMkhonto Wesizwe party. The EFF was well ahead of MK in the race for second place. Ward 23 (Motherwell) Nelson Mandela Bay: ANC 64% (76%) EFF 25% (13%) MK 10 % Azapo 1% (<1%) The setting: Motherwell is northwest of the Gqeberha city centre. It sits between the Zwartkops River and the R335 road which links the city with Addo. Ward 23 is in the southern part of Motherwell. The ward is close to the Markman industrial area and next to the R335 road. Kaizer Chiefs defender Bongani Sam and artist George Pemba are famous sons of Motherwell. The 2021 local government election: The ANC won more than three-quarters of the vote for an easy win. The EFF was the only other party to get into double percentage figures on the ward ballot. The DA finished a distant third with 4%. The 2024 provincial election: The ANC won 69% on the provincial ballot in the ward. The EFF was second with 20% and the DA third on 3%. The uMkhonto Wesizwe (MK) party only obtained 1%, while the Azanian People's Organisation (Azapo) had negligible support. The by-election: The ward councillor died. The ANC retained the ward by a margin of more than 930 votes, sweeping all four voting districts. The ANC did best at the Enqileni Primary School district where it obtained 72% support. It won more than two-thirds of the vote at two other voting stations. The party was pushed at Dumani Primary School in Motherwell 3 where it won 53%. The EFF's second-place finish was built on a strong showing at Dumani Primary School where it won 35%, while it took more than 20% at Enqileni Primary School. MK got into double percentage figures in two districts. Its 15% return at Motherwell Community Hall was its best result in the ward. MK will be satisfied with a 10% haul in a metropolitan township with almost no Zulu-speaking voters. While it was unable to match the 16% it obtained in a recent Motherwell by-election, this result suggests the party has established a foothold in Motherwell and will pose a threat to the ANC's proportional representation councillor tally after the next local government election. The next round of by-elections will be on 20 August when the ANC will defend two seats – in King Sabata Dalindyebo (Mthatha Southernwood), Eastern Cape, and in Knysna (Nekkies Dam-Se-Bos) in the Western Cape. The DA will face fierce competition in Matzikama (Vanrhynsdorp) in the Western Cape. DM

Mbalula: ANC won't abandon BEE, Expropriation Act even if party leaders sanctioned by US govt
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress (ANC) said it won't abandon transformative policies like BEE and the Expropriation Act even if it means its leaders get sanctioned by the US government. As of 7 August, all South African goods exported to the US will be slapped with a 30% tariff. While the sweeping tariffs are set to apply to a number of countries across the world, at a media briefing on Wednesday, the ANC said it believed that South Africa was being punished for some of its legislation. Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump falsely claimed that the South African government was using the Expropriation Act to seize land from white farmers. In April, controversial Republican politician, Ronny Jackson, introduced a bill to congress that seeks to review the USA's relations with South Africa and sanction "corrupt" ANC officials. ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said that the Trump administration seemed intent on not engaging honestly. "So it's to basically coerce us to do things that are anti-transformation. If it means we are going to suffer through sanctions, as leaders of the ANC, let it be. We will never back imperialists. We will never foresake our country for which we fought for its liberation." Mbalula acknowledged that the US tariffs would have a huge negative impact on the country's economy.
