his resignation as Deputy President of South AfricaMabuza lost out at the African National Congress Elective Conference in December where he was succeeded by Paul Mashatile as the party’s Deputy President.
Ndou explains, “This was coming. I’m sure that a lot of people are not surprised. Mabuza has not been elected to the highest decision body of the ANC and with the alignment of the ANC one had to expect such to happen. My suspicion is that there could have been a number of discussions that were taking place between the ANC and Mabuza based on the fact that Mabuza has actually saved the President’s political life.
“In 2017, he came with the project in the ANC, and just in the last minute of voting Mabuza convinced the Mpumalanga province to vote for Cyril Ramaphosa. Even last month at the ANC conference it was Mabuza who chose not to contest any other position even though he was nominated because, in the view of many people, he wanted unity to be the order of the day in the ANC. I believe he is leaving his office with dignity because others would have been pushed out but Mabuza chose not to do so.
Modeva keep well
Whishing him all the best
