Ramaphosa calls on ANC leaders to speak with one voice, stop damaging party brand | tshidi_lee lizTandwa
The spat between Niehaus and Mbalula seemingly emanated from Mbalula's war of words with ANC secretary general Ace Magashule during the counting of votes cast in the general elections last week.
"The ANC avoided the slaughter in this campaign. There are game changers that would have shaped this particular outcome. Otherwise, it would have gone down. The ANC has recovered even in areas where we had lost," Mbalula told News24. ANC leaders, including party chairperson Gwede Mantashe and outgoing parliamentary chief whip Jackson Mthembu, also commented on the debate, crediting Ramaphosa for his contribution to the party's campaign."He was not happy with the public divisions and urged us to speak with one voice. I expect this will be a talking point during next week's speaking NEC," said the NEC member.
One of the NEC members also told News24 that a time will come when several individuals will be expected to answer for their public utterances when the committee meets to review its election report.
