ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula says former president Jacob Zuma is defective following his constant disparagement of President Cyril Ramaphosa and his administration.
Mbalula who bullet-proofed Ramaphosa after Zuma who formed a new MK party censured him on Phalaphala farm said the former president is the leader of newly formed MK party has subjected himself to amnesia after the ANC protected him during his R246 million taxpayers money Nkandla gate scandal.
Mbalula said this during his visit in Mpumalanga as the ANC prepares itself to celebrate its 112 years during the much anticipated January 8 Statement, which is scheduled for Saturday at Mbombela Stadium.
He revealed how the ANC justified Zuma’s controversial R3.9m pool as a security feature, during his speech in Barberton at Mpumalanga.
“We defended former president Zuma, even going to Parliament and saying that a swimming pool is a fire pool,” he said in a clip that has since commanded attention on social media.
“The Constitutional Court, chaired by Mogoeng Mogoeng, issued a judgment against Jacob Zuma, but the ANC stood by him. Zuma now says he can’t stand President Cyril Ramaphosa.”
Mbalula's remarks on Sunday landed him in hot water as he received a lot of criticsm from various stake holders including opposition parties.
Zuma took his fight to privately prosecute his successor, President Cyril Ramaphosa, to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
However the High Court in Johannesburg reviewed and set aside the private prosecution.
