“We had hope in ARP and that it will come back. Mashatile is currently leading the pack in the race to become the ANC’s number two when voting takes place at the party’s national elective conference currently underway at Nasrec. Those in the ANC who’ve refused to work with Mashatile in the run-up to the upcoming conference claim he is a questionable character who simply can't be trusted.
