ANC ‘has no problem’ asking Ramaphosa to step aside - Mbalula
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has denied claims of a leadership crisis within the party.
Mbalula remarks come amid a letter written by former president Thabo Mbeki to the ANC, in which he raises concerns about the manner in which the party is addressing some issues.
The former president’s concerns include the manner in which the party's handling of President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala saga, and former president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla scandal.
Speaking at a provincial conference in Cape Town on Saturday, Mbalula said the party should be given space to decide on the matter.
“If anything were to arise and it requires us to take a decision about the president, we have got rules in the ANC and checks and balances. We will decide. If the president has to step aside at some point because he's got things to answer from a point of accountability, he will step aside.
"There's no problem about that. There is no crisis of leadership in the ANC," said Mbalula.
