The ANC's Fikile Mbalula said the DA made a mistake in their campaign by thinking 'we are still in the Zuma era'. Elections2019results

"Should we have gone on with that we would have probably dropped to 40%," he said."They went for the president very hard and veering away from their own message, and they took a bad approach for them in this campaign," he said.With 62% of the election result complete on Thursday night, the ANC was on 56.7%. It was leading polls in all provinces besides the Western Cape.

"We are humbled by this because we came from a serious battering in the last elections where we almost lost," he said.

No one ones to hear the truth!

So true

Cant take you seriously....lil ANC jester.

Eye service ministry. Old man young boy

Im one of those who wouldnt have voted it NZ was the president. I voted coz i believe in Ramaphosa

You're right Fiks. Ace can't read his cards. Voters know very well that without 'Thuma-Mina', 40% would have been your highest score at the polls. He saved the country & the ANC itself from self-destruction.

Mbalula is behaving like a woman exabanisa amadoda

gdnewham well not everyone is as instantly slippery as Mr-Forever-Young-wearing-Angela Lansbury glasses ..he flips and flops just like that

Mbaks is very correct. All campaigns are run through the anchor in this case President Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa is that anchor.

Know your Fikile Mbalula, a chameleon of note, zero back bone

The DA's campaign strategy was off. They ignored a whole lot of points.

Desparate for the cabinet post, he should be minister of women , children and LGBT

He is talking shit

Ubhizi uxabanisa abalandeli uxova iqembu, shintsha ndoda umdala manje.

Ulimenemene Mbalula, umgogodla awubonwa.

Kahle kahle what's going on with Mbalula, is he becoming a mouthwatering hole.

Mbalula you are now a pale shadow of your former self. With age you have grown to be a loose cannon nje. Who bewitched?

Politics fr stamach. Ixoli

Mr fear fokol Truely speaking Breaking heart of those who hates our Honerable President Ramaphosa

DA doesn't focus on delivering,but blah on other parties mistakes. DA must think twice.we are not Zuma's compound

Peterman43 Ramaphosa is the savior of the ANC

Mbaks tryin to position himself for cabinet post mxm! coz the 249 seats is no more, some hav to start prepare their Cv's to look for job somewhere, and for those with no qualifications it bitter end

Wow this chap is something else

What was MbalulaFikile doing during Zuma era?

Zuma did much better and the campaigns under his leadership had sauce.

😂😂😂😂😂waaa lo he singing for the supper,

Says someone who actively supported the continuation of the Zuma administration in the guise of NDZ. Political chameleons.

At Nasrec he was sitting with Nkosizana, now he want a seat in the parliament he start ti think lile he is smart, as smart as he is, he will never go to the Parliament, Cyril isn't a dumb

But he campaigned for the Zuma/Nkosazana faction to win at Nasrec

He failed to rise up to 60% he must leave Msholozi out of this

He is eyeing a position in cabinet

True

Balula u talking crap its beta u don't say a thing MbalulaFikile keep on tweeting

Is this a way of admitting that things were horribly wrong during the Zuma era? Because the last time I checked he was one do the people that were protecting Msholozi 🤔

But you wanted Dlamini Zuma to be the president of the ANC... Uthini manje?

Julius said this Chameleon can do anything for position

The same Mr DoesFokol who supported NDZ and said that history will prove he was on the right side of history?

Seems like ANC becoming more a limpopo/mpumalanga party and the large stayaway is message of Losing if it dont shape up by next election. Same with DA in Cape. FF+ rose mainly because DA became ANC light.

True

Sbhanxa ndini awuhlukane noZuma, he's not on your league

Power hungry people who will do anything to win a ministerial position?if ANC has to be cleared then all of u have to go coz u all had a cut

Mbaks ndithanda inyani kuwe DA Koko ibisigxolela ngegupta noZuma nenkandla

Really MbalulaFikile mud slinging already, or still? Careful. The final count is not yet in, and if I were MmusiMaimane I would go to the highest court for a fresh election. Me smells a vrot fish.

What a laugh a minute! IMO, a charlatan of the first order. 😡

Gracifiedz Blubbermouth!

This Mbalula is a sucker no backbone.

Wasn't he against Ramaphosa becoming ANC president? Fucking hypocrite!😁

Sadly Cyril is one man not the entire government. A vote for Cyril does not equate to confidence in the ANC. Here's hoping the party actually listens to their leader as next time they may not be so lucky if his 2nd chance fails too.

Sad truth...😢😢

Wakwenzani uZuma khehla lasentabeni

Now ppl are paving their way into the union buildings. Busy kissing ass now.

Like it or not, he is right. I would not even have considered ANC if it wasn’t for cupcake.

This Mbalula thing is an idiot.

Fearfokkol has to say it because Ramaphosa will be buttering his bread.

Mbalula is not wise 😁😁😁😁

Wat was zuma era

Mbalula is an arsehole. This butt leaking is unnecessary nobuso besalukazi. This man is beginning to annoy me. Imenemene lomsunu

Sewuyanya ke manje MbalulaFikile

Mbalula whr hv u been....lng time not hearing frm u😀

Should he not be doing someone's ironing?

Did people vote for Ramaphosa or ANC

Stomach politics are really dangerous

Wasn't Mbalula a minister in the 'Zuma era'?

He's right.. i personally voted because of CR.

Yet they still wanted zuma votes

I agree

Didn't this guy MbalulaFikile supported NDZ in Nasrec?

Plz Mrs Fearfokol MbalulaFikile lead from the front continue comrades to fight amongst urself. EFFSouthAfrica just took 5% of ur vote share. Amandla! 🤣

Lol. ANC critisising? They need to look at their own poor results and why overall such a low turnout.

Eusebius We are still in the Zuma era for as long as corrupt politicians are roaming around freely.

Olaba Poso

100% correct

Eusebius Indeed

He's right

Eusebius A house divided?

So when he was campaigning for NDZ flat out he knew if she won the ANC would not be in Government in 2019? So he was complicit to doing this to the great party of Tambo, Hani, Mandela, Gwala, Mabhida, Slovo? Its unbelievable what He knew prior to Nasrec.

by looking at the results

I think that is true

Nose dirty old man.

They could only be one reason why the ANC did well. They must thank the IEC for allowing their members to double vote. Had it not been for that, the ANC would sitting at 40%...Zuma or no Zuma.

U must scientifically back up your point by overtaking the Zuma 62% mark

If perhaps u didn't take someone's money for a family vacation to Dubai ANC would have collected 2/3 majority

AAAH this one he want position now he forget that he was one of the ppl whole declared supporting for Msholozi publicly now he's talking nonsense bcs he want to be appointed... Politics of stomach 😂😂😂

Ayifiki intambo kwi paraffin kulowo One of the idiots that has to beg for their supper, Mbalula is disgusting, he is the enemy of unity, a liar and pathetic factionalist nxaaaaaa

NTKhanyile This chameleon Fikile yoo...

zuma campaigned for the ANC one of the reasons why ANC is winning

people like mbalula are responsible for the division in the organisation..

He would have said exactly the same with a Nkosazana-Zuma victory

LOL the story here MbalulaFikile is how your cupcake, with ALL the media hyping & supporting him, managed to win with the 50s🤷‍♂️. Since 94 the ANC has never dropped nationally to the 50s. You got rid of Zuma long ago. At what point does your cupcake start taking responsibility?

What's he saying about Gedleyihlekisa?

Lol true but he just want a cabinet post. He was one of the leading people who was supporting Nkosazana leading up to Nasrec instead of Ramaphosa

I agree with you Mbalula

Mhmm

Imenemene lephixiphixi!! Nxaaaaaa😡

He just opens the mouth and talk then think after

Tidoz1 23Lungsta

We seem to have move on to the Magashule era. Not sure it's something Fikile should actually brag about.

From the dude whose party lots of ground... Lol!

MbalulaFikile is now campaigning for a spot in CyrilRamaphosa cabinet PresJGZuma name. Asazi-ke ngoba he will opt for a leaner, cleaner govt

He has a point.

This guy is useless. Proof that the ANC is highly infiltrated by agents and their fools.

Still suffering from that era

Talking after the fact, so typical of reactionaries. This guy & his party had their tails between the legs. But now he seems emboldened to give a lecture he was so scared conducting before votes were cast.

But Zuma won over 62% . MbalulaFikile is a good leader but he’s said that he is really out of order. He must leave PresJGZuma alone Nxa

Truth nothing but the truth

Lol

They had a weak strategy and leader. MmusiMaimane vs CyrilRamaphosa its obvious PhakamaRamaphosa ANCLeads Elections2019results

You are talking nonsense wena sphukuphuku!

An then

Why did you vote with the NDZ slate then? You are just in politics to feed your stomach. You also said that CyrilRamaphosa will never win truthfully.

True Mbaks

This is yo last chance enjoy

Sorry Mamu Mbalula if you want to be minister don't use Babu Zuma's name to bum suck for a position kuRamaphosa. 😡

All the ministers have worked very hard in all the provinces except Pravin Gordon and all white ministers.correct me if I’m wrong Cde’s,Even those that the don’t like were working

But they are still in the Zuma era... Just a different puppet

Zuma era will be nothing compared to the Ramaphosa/ Ace era!!

Trying to get Ramaposas attention lodoti

Waphantse akoluka lowo ; HE must thank cde Tonny ; all cdes worked together for the this victoryo therwise ngesithetha enye into

Comrades who's eyeing positions and want to be remembered by CyrilRamaphosa in his cabinet are always talking things that dividing MYANC into groups. i wish Ramaphoso can take only 5 former ministers in his cabinet, then the rest can be new

Politics need one to not talk too much when they are on the firm ground at current moment. Things change real quick in politics sad part all in all being a chameleon has a set amount of time in benefit for a person. It's sad to see you having no back bone Bhuti wam

Seyaphapha

What is the implication here. The victory belongs to the collective and not to Mbalula

This dude🤭🤭was he not supporting Zuma's faction in Nasrec?

If this is true then uFikile ngupopayi

Surely, voting for Mam Nkosazana Dlamini at NASREC is giving still giving Fikile Mbalula nightmares.

Why focus on the negative. The ANC must March Forward

QaanitahHunter And yet it was him dancing and going crazy with excitement when zuma won the last no confidence vote!

QaanitahHunter Cde CyrilRamaphosa is 67 years now... he will not be there after 3 years... does that mean MyANC will be get 40% in 2024...

Islima lesi.

QaanitahHunter Hhayi boh! Didn't he served under Zuma administration?

Yoo he is tryn so hard ukuba ku list yo minister

Politics..... ! He was the LOUDEST screaming for his supper during that mess he brought to us....

Once again you've just proved to all South Africans how stupid you can be!! We're celebrating ANC victory where you had zero input!!

Let us wait and see ......

This motormouth should learn to shut up. His outdated factional politics is not helping build the ANC. Worse, comparing these results to the performance by JZ at the helm is, err, utter stupidity. With Nkandla scandals, Msholozi obtained 62% in 2014, having gained 65% in 2009!

Mbaks has a point here,should ND emerged as a leader during NASREC,I am of the firm view that we wouldn’t scored 50+

KhutsoRapudi True though

O na ke moputso wa hlompho le boikokotso ba ntate ramaphosa ha a tloha a roha batho o ne a bolela ka mo anc e tlo etsa ka teng a ka thola monyetla wa ho voutelwa jwale ba neng ba rohana le bona ba Tla thola moputso wa bona halala anc re tla shwa le yona

This is true. Had we voted in 2017, ANC would have been in BEEEEEG trouble. South Africans would not have voted for another Zuma era. They are very lucky to be even sitting at 56-57%. May they remember ppl voted 4 Cupcakes not the ANC

Yes Its true

That is nonsense we were not going to drop to 40%. Let us celebrate the support we are given by our people than the misguided message from Mbalula.

There's some truth in that. The DA's vote-catching strategy has hardly evolved at all, other than to piss off some long-standing white voters, more of whom will leave over the next 2 years.

MbalulaFikile tsek, you were riding that wave bigtime😡😡

If he said this before elections, I was going put my x else where. He campaigned for them.Stupid

Shuuuu mbalula yazi uyihlazo mhlekazi
