“President Cyril Ramaphosa is a sheep in the midst of wolves in the ANC,” says Fikile Mbalula, saying he would like to see the president crack the whip.

Listen to Mbalula:

The secretary-general believes his party leader is too good a person and says it sometimes frustrates him.

“He is a good and kindhearted person in the ANC. Sometimes I want to shake him up with a klap, but then I remember he is older than me.”

Mbalula says if you believe the ANC is selling out, it is because Ramaphosa leads, alongside some people who have no backbone.
