Image: Twitter: @GwedeMantashe1The African National Congress National Chairperson, Gwede Mantashe has lashed out at former leaders of the party who have been criticising its incumbent, Cyril Ramaphosa. Mantashe was speaking on the sidelines of the Letsema campaign in Carletonville, West of Gauteng.
“Any prior leadership who criticises their successors, to me are in the wrong, that’s my starting point. When you are in a leadership position, you don’t go public and criticise your successor or your predecessor because you have access to them,” says Mantashe.Mantashe also reacted to NEC member Lindiwe Sisulu’s calls for Ramaphosa to step aside while investigations are under way regarding the alleged theft of millions of US dollars from his Phala Phala farm two years ago.
“Ill-discipline, you don’t get it in the ANC. Your upbringing will determine your discipline and your level of discipline. Now if you miss something in that upbringing, you are going to commit mistakes politically, that is not necessary. My own view is that it is never necessary for you to insult a fellow leader in the open when you have an opportunity to talk to him face-to-face.
Also vying for the position are former President, Jacob Zuma; David Masondo, and current Limpopo Chairperson, Stan Mathabatha – who has been endorsed by KwaZulu-Natal. Mantashe says candidates must be assessed on the contributions that they can make to the party. Mantashe also condemned the killing of the ANC Deputy Chair of the Gert Sibande region, Muzi Manyathi, labelling it as a pure act of criminality and not political killing.
Boo hoo such a bold brave party steeped in history become so sensitive to the truth
He still want to grow big that big stomach, eating on behalf of the poor
Gwede has been useless, he has never achieved anything but positions at the expense of others.
The main problem here is the on going investigation about the diamond dealings
He is right. You can't hear Cyril Ramaphosa speaking about Zuma or even Thabo Mbeki. He gives them a smile and carry on with his business 🤔 that's a true leader

PetersWonderboy We live in a mgodoyi world.
PetersWonderboy He benefitted from a corrupt Bosasa, and all that he must do is to stay next to the Emperor so that he is not charged and made to step aside. If he were to say anything against the Emperor, he is out. Zonke lezinto ezinye okuthiwa o-Mbalula nalokhu okunye okuthiwa u-Zizi Kodwa.
