Deputy President Paul Mashatile was present during the VIP assault on the N1 in Johannesburg, ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula confirmed on Tuesday.
In recent weeks, he has dominated headlines, lambasting underperforming ministers and taking several swipes at the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), which the ANC is in a partnership with across some of Gauteng’s metros.
On Monday, one of Deputy President Paul Mashatile s bodyguards revealed in court that the deputy president was in the convoy when two motorists were assaulted.
Fikile Mbalula said if coalition agreements were not working for the ANC, the party needed to rethink its position instead of adding to the dysfunctionality within municipalities.
