ANC hits back at Phosa for outrageous allegations against DD Mabuza’s “private army”
The Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) of the African National Congress (ANC) in Mpumalanga province, is completely flummoxed by the outrageous allegations, levelled by Mr Mathews Phosa against the Provincial Chairperson of the ANC, Cde DD Mabuza in particular, and the ANC in the Province in general.
“We see these allegations and fabrications by Phosa as a desperate attempt to rescue a Presidential campaign which died before it came into life,” says the ANC in a statement.
The PEC states that Phosa maliciously accuses the Provincial Chairperson, DD Mabuza of having a personal militia, which goes around disrupting Branch General Meetings (BGM) and intimidating members of the ANC with the intention of achieving certain political outcomes. As the PEC, we would like to put on record that, Cde DD Mabuza does not have a personal militia and is protected by members of the South African Police Service (SAPS), like all Premiers and members of the Executive.

“We further want society know, that he has no personal relationship with the figures shown firing gunshots in the circulating video. Cde DD Mabuza is a law abiding citizen, who will never encourage the unfortunate events shown in that video,” the statement reads.
