📰 Discontent within the ANC as disgruntled members express loyalty to Magashule. More on TheCitizenNews ⬇️
The ground is not fertile for the ANC in the Fezile Dabi region in Parys, Free State, which is believed to be a stronghold of expelled former secretary-general Ace Magashule. Yesterday, a handful ANC members believed to be sympathetic to Magashule protested, stamped on and burned ANC regalia ahead of secretary-general Fikile Mbalula’s visit to the area. They also had a coffin with Mbalula’s face.
The disgruntled party members, however, did not stomp on T-shirts with former president Jacob Zuma’s face, saying they still loved him.The crowd raised several service delivery concerns, while some vowed to make it difficult for the ANC to take control of the area ahead of the 2024 general elections following Magashule’s expulsion.
On Youth Day, people purporting to be ANC members in the Fezile Dabi region, burnt ANC T-shirts in what was believed to be retaliation against Magashule’s expulsion.Boitumelo Majoe, an ANC supporter who was part of those stamping on ANC T-shirts, said it was a myth that they were stamping on the T-shirt because they were in support of Magashule.
