The ANC will win back majority power, secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said as the party concluded the third day of its national general council in Boksburg on Wednesday.
The ANC intends on keeping its financial report a secret – but the party, hamstrung by a R20-million monthly salary bill, admits that its financial standing is “battered”.
ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu believes the party’s money troubles, which played out publicly when staff members held a picket at the start of its 5th national general council (NGC), show that the organisation is “poor” – not corrupt.
On the first day of the party’s national general council, chairperson Gwede Mantashe slammed Ramaphosa’s detractors and urged them to ‘say whatever you want to say here and not outside these walls’
The president also told a meeting of his ANC that criminals, corrupt careerists, extortionists and factionalists should find themselves outside of the party
