JOHANNESBURG – The African National Congress (ANC) chastised Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula for his tweets, saying that if there were problems, they should appear before the party and not air on social media.
Party spokesman Pule Mabe said that Mbalula’s action went against the ANC’s social media policy.
The Transport Minister launched an attack through a series of tweets on Monday against the leader of the Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association (MKMVA), Kebby Maphatsoe, and spokesman Carl Niehaus.
Mbalula called Maphatsoe a coward and called Niehaus a bully.
Mabe said that the ANC could not be considered to have a preference towards some members.
“This statement should serve as a rebuke to Comrade Mbalula that allows us to use the organizational structures to address problems so that it does not come out that they cannot suppress, and that there are leaders that cannot be reprimanded. We have issued statements when cadres have said things that go against the ANC’s social media policy ”.
Members of MKMVA have been demonstrating in front of the ANC headquarters at Luthuli House on Monday calling for Mbalula to be arrested for matters related to the South African Passenger Rail Agency.
