ANC veteran Mavuso Msimang makes u-turn on leaving party
The ANC has confirmed the withdrawal of the resignation of its stalwart Mavuso Msimang.
Msimang left the party last week saying the ANC has been wracked by endemic corruption and questioned the declining state of governance.
The veteran said the lack of governance left devastating consequences on the governance of the country and the lives of poor people.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the party says Mavuso met with the party's secretary-general Fikile Mbalula in a meeting facilitated by the Veterans League.
Mbalula has since apologised for accusing Msimang of de-campaigning of the ANC.
The party says it will now deal with the unethical behaviour and ill-discipline of its members ahead of next year's election.
"In this regard, we are pleased that Cde Msimang has agreed to withdraw his resignation and will continue to speak up against any malfeasance impacting the interests of society.
"The ANC will continuously seek the wise counsel of the elders of the ANC in whose footsteps we walk."
"The SG regrets that he made comments that impugned the integrity of Cde Msimang, suggesting that he was vulnerable to taking a bribe from a newly established political formation, or, for that matter, any other source."
