Addressing a media briefing on the outcomes of what was discussed when the party's national working committee convened on Monday, secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said"we will do everything to get to the truth, especially to find those who voted for the opposition."
He added that the ANC would not"habour people in our ranks who take the mandate of the people of the ANC and vote with the DA". So, if it means us using polygraph tests, we will use it.
