Newly elected ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa is on Wednesday expected to deliver his first official address as the party's leader when he closes the fiercely contested 54th national conference.
ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula has lashed out at his predecessor Ace Magashule for failing to rein in his unruly Free State supporters, who have been burning party T-shirts in protest of his expulsion.
The ANC weakened the powers of former secretary-general Ace Magashule for two years, killing his political career to ensure his exit would not negatively affect the party, according to Unisa political analyst Prof Dirk Kotze.
EFF leader Julius Malema and African Radical Economic Transformation Alliance (Areta) leader Carl Niehaus's bromance has raised eyebrows and left many puzzled.
The knives are out for ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile as a handful of Cyril Ramaphosa-aligned national executive committee [NEC] members want him removed as acting secretary-general.
