OPINION | You can't threaten a firebrand such as Fikile Mbalula with vitriol and expect him to not hit back. We need to encourage the courage of those such as Mbalula to soldier on as disciplined soldiers of the revolution and voices of the voiceless

This was brought to bear by the Bolshevik Revolution – also known as the Red October – led by the Bolshevik Party itself, which took place through an armed insurrection in The Petrograd on October 25, 1917.

But we also need to see arrests in the private sector based on corruption driven by white monopoly capital and its known scandals, otherwise this will turn into a circus of self-hate by black leaders. uMkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association spokesperson Carl Niehaus outside the Durban University of Technology ahead of the night vigil.

No true factionalist is able to achieve such progressive inconsistency. Perhaps we need such progressive inconsistency, epitomised by siding with reason or superior logic as opposed to cabals to kill factionalism in the ANC. It would be dishonest to expect him to be perfect. In my view on the road towards both Polokwane 2007 and Nasrec 2017, he was on the wrong side of history. But at least he accepted when he was injudicious by changing his views to locate himself within progressive reasoning and superior logic.

This indeed happens in the polemics of conferences, but in his sober moment he warned all of us that if the ANC is given to this man it would quickly move closer to its demise as the signs are showing today. History has indeed proven uJolinkomo correct; all eyes are on the Ace of Doom as his Free State shenanigans are beginning to follow him.

All ANC-loving cadres need to rally behind the likes of Mbalula to call a spade a spade and not just a garden tool. The prophets of gloom and doom may dismiss him as a socialite or a Louis Vuitton Revolutionary, but this cadre has proven that he genuinely loves the ANC and its real members. Without a healthy ANC with such voices that advocate for clean governance and are focused on championing the needs of our people South Africa will be a foreign country with a bleak future for its offspring.

It is pleasing that the president has adopted the usage of the RET language in his rhetoric, and seems committed to its objectives as seen in the economic reconstruction and recovery plan . Their latest treasonous twin plan is to call a National General Council and use the National Assembly to simultaneously call for a motion of no confidence against the sitting president of the ANC and that of the country. Progressive forces in the ANC need to be nimble-footed to stop them in their dodgy tracks.

When people are aligning themselves in the factions, it's none of our business. We're fed up of the bickering hence we will let them be SELF DISTRUCTIVE.

U write for the sake of saving face, wena mang mang, write whatever u want about this political chameleon, fact is he'll remain a betrayal to the struggle especially the youth league of the anc. They were prostituting themselves to business tycoons (wmc) i.e Bret Kebble for money

BEYONCE IS LOOTING LIKE THE REST...

ramalokot Lol Mbalula ?

White media backing their own by using a black leader...

How is SA going to benefit from the insults exchanges?🤷🏽‍♀️

Ba le lahletxa le go le kgaoganya. Lena le mathata mara ha le hloke media go bona gore le swanetxe go kopana le rarolle diphapano.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mbalula saved the country from looters who masqueraded as tenderpreneurs

What a load of rubbish. Fikile is undisciplined. He need to tow the line and learn to work within the rules. After all he was party to making those rules.

A firebrand?! Mbalula is a poep-op-n-lappie, nothing more.

He is the master of corruption

The same MbalulaFikile who was part of NDZ campaign 😂😂😂

If he was a man worth his salt, he would be fighting for South Africans not his personal wars, settling vendetta with his party people. He is not a team player, a narcissist, volatile and dangerous. He cant be trusted.

MbalulaFikile is a clown, that's all a narrow-minded brainless Zuma puppet who lacks self esteem and compensates via ub'khothane .it's an MYANC thing nowadays. Nothing new

Kubo cadre Mbaks✊✊✊

Oh really 🤣🙄😲 Fikile is like most politicians, its all about self - interest & self - preservation. After 2 decades in the corrupt MYANC led GovernmentZA, what has been Fikile's added value? ZERO. CyrilRamaphosa

Or serves the interests of his masters within the anc to fight on their behalf 🤔

'A firebrand for all seasons' & a disaster for everything he's involved in.

What nonsense. He is as deeply compromised as the rest. But because he didn't steal as much as the rest, he must be excused? Aikona. Not gonna happen. Theft is theft.

But it’s too early in the morning for this vomit.

Privatization it's not ANC policy

😂😂😂😂

Since when an anc leader, Fikile Mbalula included, capable of fighting corruption? Don't be fooled these theatrical actions between anc cadres. It is intended to deflect attention from the bigger corruption when the rail system is replaced.

VoetsekANC

Are you campaigning for your party now.

He loves ANC but not the country there4 he cn go to HELL and why didn't he arrest his accomplices when he was still minister of police

Just because thugs are fighting amongst themselves, doesn’t make the other one better.

What a BS article. You can no longer fool people with this nonsense.

What Mbulula did was to open a way for self correction as a party. Politicians like him should expose more of bad politicians maybe the will be a change.

He loves the perks that comes with being a member of corruption and it ends there.

🙄😏

Corrupt criminal scum is he

Mbalula a firebrand ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Delusional opinion. The man is incompetent in his job portfolio. All structures under his control have failed yet you say he is a firebrand, i agree he's burning it all to the ground. We need a conscious ethical qualified person to do the job of transport minister

Did the meaning of the word ‘discipline’ undergo a change the rest of the English speaking world is not aware of?

Stellenbosh food got into the guy, he is their spokesperson

Who wrote this nonsense Political factions in media pamphlets so blatant it’s depressing.

Opinion yaMasimba

🤣🤣🤣

Oh rubbish. Fikile is as corrupt as the rest of them.🙄

Irrelevant opinions

The day you're done with him, it will be like a Tsunami when you gun for the monies you're giving him now to spew the bile he is busy with

Mbaks 🤣
