Mbalula vows to tackle voter loss to Zuma's MKP and revive ANC in KZN
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula says that the focus is on tackling the loss of voter support to former president Jacob Zuma’s MKP and reviving the ANC in the provincehas addressed speculation regarding the possible dissolution of the party’s provincial executive committee in KwaZulu-Natal following its major loss of support in this year's May general elections.
“I cannot comment about disbandment as disbandment is not the preoccupation of our visit. There might be others who wish for that, but you don’t build by disbanding. There are important things that need to be done to strengthen this province,” Mbalula added. He further said that this is “not the time for finger-pointing and squabbles” but rather a time to focus on strengthening the party in the province.Mbalula attributed much of the ANC’s loss of its majority in KwaZulu-Natal to Zuma’s MKP, rather than internal issues within the ANC’s branches. He noted that the constituencies that supported the MKP were traditionally ANC supporters.
