Maile says Mbalula not referring to him when he spoke about ill-discipline within ANC

JOHANNESBURG - Senior African National Congress (ANC) Gauteng member Lebogang Maile said the party’s Secretary General (SG), Fikile Mbalula, was not referring to him when he spoke about ill-discipline within the organisation.  

At a recent media briefing, Mbalula said the party would act against ANC members who post social media content at 2am, bringing the organisation into disrepute.

On Sunday, at around 2am, Maile posted on social media platform X about people who seek to destroy the ANC intentionally.

Speaking at a media briefing on Tuesday, Maile said Mbalula’s comments were not directed at him.

“The SG of the ANC is correct to talk about discipline. There must be discipline. What kind of organisation doesn’t have discipline? There shouldn’t be any member of the ANC who speaks out of turn, who contradicts the policies of the ANC, [and the] code of conduct of the ANC.”
