ANC's Mbalula hits out at party succession talk, Motsepe links
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress (ANC)'s Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has warned that leading the ANC is not as easy as running a football club.
This as he tackled claims of a perceived campaign by billionaire Patrice Motsepe to succeed Cyril Ramaphosa as party president.
Mbalula said it was not even known if Motsepe, one of the ANC's major donors, belonged to a branch in the party.
Mbalula spoke in the Eastern Cape on Friday night at the 9th Chris Hani regional conference, which elected its executive without any contestation.
Despite the ANC calling on its members to not engage in talks about succession and its 2027 national conference, discussions have been rife.
