There has been bad blood between the two since 2017 when Mbalula said Magashule wasn’t fit to be Free State premier
The animosity between ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula and party secretary-general Ace Magashule continued this week when the two took potshots at each other in front of the media.
Mbalula did not take Magashule’s remarks lying down, saying the ANC secretary-general was not responding to him but to a “figment of his imagination”. Responding to Magashule, Mbalula insisted that Ramaphosa and the elective conference were game changers for the ANC. Referring to the polls that projected a reduced majority for the ANC, Mbalula said the governing party, which was at 57.73% after 94.6% of the national vote had been counted on Friday afternoon, would not need coalition partners to govern SA.
