Answering questions from journalists on videos and pictures circulating on social media showing empty chairs inside commission halls at the ANC's 55th national conference in Nasrec, Johannesburg, Mbalula described this as 'complete fabrication'.
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula and his first deputy Nomvula Mokonyane contradicted each other on the poor attendance of commissions during their first press briefing together after being elected.
This was soon after Mokonyane had said they had taken note of poor attendance in some commissions but there were submissions made on behalf of provinces. "We finished the commissions around 12am. We voted up until that time, so you went from commissions to voting for the top seven. Our commissions were well attended, and we are producing good results."
The ANC 55th conference was unable to conclude its business due to conference starting late, delegates having to drive back to their provinces and others returning to work.
