ANC national chair Gwede Mantashe has hit back at former ANC Free State strongman Ace Magashule, who on Friday called newly elected ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula a 'boy'.

Defending Mbalula, Mantashe said: “What is happening in education shows us what is possible in the Free State and it is not happening. The Free State is a very important province, strategically located, and its influence, if it can graduate to what it should be, could influence the entire country.

“I hope this conference helps us to start anew and appreciate the potential we have here. I don’t know how many of you know that this province produced president Zaccheus Mahabane, who was the president of the ANC twice. This province ... gave us president James Moroka. That reflects on the standing of the Free State in the ANC.”

But, said Mantashe: “This is not a gift, it’s a role you earn, and with the behaviour I am witnessing here, you will have to work double hard to regain that influence.“When I mentor a young man and see him as a young man forever, it does not say something about the young man. It says something about me. It means I [am at] a cul de sac because I must be able to produce people to grow and take over from me and become my leader. [By doing that], I am playing my role as a leader.

Regarding arriving in the Free State to open the conference, only for it to be disrupted, Mantashe said: “That is why I thought it was important for us to pray before we start. You Free State people need prayer. Nothing else. Nothing else can help you.”

The country yearning for a visionary leadership & now MYANC is bogged down in semantics. If only GwedeMantashe1 could use his ENERGY to get Eskom back to work we would call him and his cohort a bunch of men cos obviously this keeps him up at night.

Word of advice, ACE has nothing to lose, be careful, if he has incriminating information he will release it.

His a girl

GwedeMantashe1 must tell us when did Mbalula grow up to be a man?Give us a date (year-month-day)? That boy tweeted more than he fixed roads,railway infrastructure & transport system as a whole.Yet RANC (Ramaphosa African National Congress) made him it's SG. He remains a boy.

If mbalula is not a boy he is gay or lesbian of wmc

That's not important..weather his a girl or not
