South Africa's political landscape is abuzz with ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula's recent media briefings post the 2024 elections. Mbalula addressed the outcomes of the polls, asserting that the ANC has 'nothing to celebrate' despite the results. He emphasized the party's openness to engaging with all political entities, highlighting the need for unity and collaboration in the current political climate. Amid calls for President Ramaphosa to step down, Mbalula firmly stated that the ANC will not succumb to external demands, maintaining a stance of party loyalty and integrity.
In a unique twist, Mbalula has rejected threats of violence against the Electoral Commission of South Africa, urging for peaceful objection-raising instead.
