- In a 30 October letter, Mkubelo urged Mbalula to recuse himself from Buffalo City’s ANC mayoral selection, days before Wednesday’s local-government elections.
- He alleged Ncedo Kumbaca, Piya Dzengwa and Nocawe Mafu received no regional briefing, campaign resources or election assignments.
- Mkubelo said Faku endorsed Mbalula’s bid for ANC president at a Zwelitsha rally and claimed all regional branches backed him.
- He asked the ANC national executive committee to investigate the region and ensure all mayoral candidates had equal access to resources, platforms and communities.
“Loyalty to the organisation must never be confused with silence in the face of organisational decay, injustice and practices that undermine the very values upon which the movement was founded.”— Loyiso Mkubelo, chairperson of the ANC Youth League in the Dr WB Rubusana region, wrote this in an open letter to Fikile Mbalula and the ANC leadership.
