Cape Town – ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula says the party does not have a personal agenda against former president Jacob Zuma and is not threatened by his endorsement of the newly formed Umkhonto weSizwe party (MK).
Zuma has been campaigning for the MK party, seen by many as a breakaway faction of the ANC.
Mbalula said that the ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) is yet to decide on Zuma’s fate and emphasised resolving party issues within the ANC.
“Our constitution is very clear, there is no two parties. There is no party called MK existing in our name through somebody who wants to be a saviour of the party or a messiah. There is no such a thing.
“We note President Zuma’s presence everywhere in the Country, The N E C has directed that we will reflect on President Zuma and the statements he have made and his endeavors to launch or to establish the MK Party” ANC SG Fikile Mbalula pic.twitter.com/zwiGwpYCFS

“In the ANC you resolve your issues in the party. We have had difficulties over time through different epochs and transition and all of that. So, this thing is not new. When people who were disgruntled and not happy with President Zuma, they went to form Cope. When people don’t agree with President Ramaphosa, they form MK,” said Mbalula.
