(In South Africa) ANC's Mbalula Slammed for Not Condemning Mashatile Convoy Attack

 

Fikile Mbalula, ANC Secretary-General, is under fire for not publicly addressing the recent shooting of Deputy President Paul Mashatile's convoy on March 31, 2025.

Social media users slam his silence, alleging ANC factionalism and rivalry with Mashatile. 

His prominent role, yacht controversy, and DA critiques in the GNU intensify scrutiny amid coalition tensions and public demands for leadership response.

There were unproven claims tying him to Mashatile’s attack to boost his ANC leadership bid. Allegations of DA alignment and KZN/Gauteng power shifts lack evidence but reflect distrust. 

His silence, unlike his vocal stance elsewhere, and ANC disciplinary moves make Mbalula a focal point for public anger and conspiracy theories surrounding coalition dynamics and party infighting.
