ANC won't be bullied by ‘small boy' of the DA, says Mbalula
ANC secretary general has slammed the DA saying they can leave the GNU if they wanted to.
ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula has warned the DA that the ANC and its President Cyril Ramaphosa will not be bullied and disrespected by its leaders who continuously threaten to destabilise the Government of National Unity (GNU).
Speaking during the 3rd day of the OR Tambo Regional Conference in the Eastern Cape on Sunday, Mbalusa said that the GNU was not a permanent feature but a temporary partnership among all the coalition parties.
"When the Government of National Unity was formed with the ten political parties, it was not a permanent feature. So, we will not allow our President to be disrespected by his deputy ministers. Even Nelson Mandela fired his own wife. My mother Winnie Nomzamo Madikizela Mandela. Mandela took her out of the cabinet.
'Thabo Mbeki as president also did the same when he fired Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge. We can't then be disrespected by a small boy who is being protected by the DA. We are not in a marriage with the DA but we are in a coalition," he said.

Analysts warn DA-led no-confidence vote could topple Ramaphosa
President Cyril Ramaphosa's future could hang by a balance if the Democratic Alliance (DA), party og GNU, continues with the motion of no-confidence against him. Image: IOL Graphic If the Democratic Alliance (DA) proceeds with a motion of no confidence against President Cyril Ramaphosa, it could mark the end of his presidency. That's according to political analysts. Speaking with IOL News, Professor Bheki Mngomezulu said Ramaphosa previously survived parliamentary votes in the sixth administration because the African National Congress (ANC) held a majority in Parliament. However, the party will no longer have the May 2024 national elections. 'Anything is possible with the DA, because they don't seem to know what they are doing,' Mngomezulu said. 'Both the ANC and the DA are suffering from an identity crisis. The ANC behaves as though it is still the sole governing party, while the DA continues acting as the official opposition. But the reality is that they are now part of a coalition government and should be pulling in the same direction.' He said the DA often second-guesses and 'checkmates' the ANC, creating confusion about its intentions within the Government of National Unity (GNU). Mngomezulu said two main reasons are preventing the DA from leaving the coalition - is the receipt of ministerial and deputy ministerial positions, and its desire to prevent the MK Party and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) from joining the GNU. His remarks come amid heightened tensions following Ramaphosa's dismissal of Deputy Trade and Industry Minister Andrew Whitfield, a senior DA member, over an unauthorised international trip. The blue party responded by withdrawing from the National Dialogue process, which is a key platform for inter-party consultation. But, the party has not ruled out tabling a motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa. Speaking over the weekend at the OR Tambo regional conference in the Eastern Cape, ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula rubbished DA's threats. 'The DA can pack their things and leave, but on their way out, they will meet others coming in,' Mbalula said. 'Even if the DA walks away, the GNU will not collapse. Other parties are already knocking at the door to join. The GNU is powerful - it finishes you without you realising.' Mbalula warned that any attempt to propose a motion of no confidence would result in the DA's expulsion from the GNU. He confirmed that the ANC's National Working Committee (NWC) would meet Monday afternoon to discuss the matter. Meanwhile, Mngomezulu said if the DA were to proceed with the motion, it would likely find support from smaller parties, including the MK Party, the EFF, and the African Transformation Movement (ATM). 'Even if ActionSA, which also has an identity crisis, were to vote against it, the rest could constitute the two-thirds majority needed, which would mean the end of Ramaphosa,' he said. 'But I don't think it will come to that, because the ANC and DA do discuss issues behind closed doors.' He called on the ANC to address the DA's repeated challenges to its policies, including the Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Bill, the Land Expropriation Bill, and its stances on foreign policy. 'They must also discuss the DA's threats to oppose all budget speeches by ministers they disagree with, and the possibility of invoking Section 89 of the Constitution,' Mngomezulu said. 'They must assess what the DA's exit would mean in terms of parliamentary numbers. That is critical.' The ANC's NWC is also expected to address the fate of Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane, who is facing criticism over the controversial appointment of the Services Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) board. In addition, Independent political analyst Goodenough Mashego echoed Mngomezulu's remarks. 'If the DA were to bring a motion of no confidence against the president, it will definitely succeed,' Mashego said. 'It will succeed because it will have shifted the DA toward the MK and the EFF, because they need MK and EFF for the motion to succeed.' However, he said the DA is unlikely to bring the motion unless it is certain it will pass. 'They wouldn't want to embarrass themselves by bringing a motion that's going to fail, thus spilling the end of their coalition with the ANC while they go out and they've got nothing to show for it,' he said. Mashego said negotiating with the EFF and MK would be difficult, especially because it would require agreement on who would become president if Ramaphosa were removed. 'There is no scenario whereby the MK Party or EFF are going to allow the DA to appoint a president,' he said. 'If the DA also agrees with MK to appoint an MK president, there is no way an MK president will have the DA in Cabinet.' Mashego expressed that the motion is unlikely to happen. 'They might talk about it as a bargaining tool, but they're not going to do it,' he said. 'The recent DA stance is for optics. No South African is looking forward to the national dialogue, so withdrawing from it doesn't change anything.'

'Don't test us': Zille warns Ramaphosa that tabling no-confidence motion in him not an idle threat
CAPE TOWN – Democratic Alliance (DA) federal chair Helen Zille said that tabling a motion of no confidence in President Cyril Ramaphosa was not an idle threat. She said that by not acting against corruption-accused within the African National Congress (ANC)'s ranks, Ramaphosa was proving not to be any different from them. On Saturday, the DA dug in its heels, saying that it would not be withdrawing from the Government of National Unity (GNU) despite its outrage at the firing of its Eastern Cape leader, Andrew Whitfield, as a deputy minister. Ramaphosa cancelled his travel to Spain over the weekend to manage the fallout. Groupings, both within the DA and the ANC, want the parties to terminate their working relationship within the GNU. But the DA remains adamant that it won't leave on a whim. However, Zille said Ramaphosa must not test her party. "I like to live by the three strikes, and you are out, maxim. So, this is the second big strike, and believe me, we discussed at length about a motion of no confidence in the president." Despite the DA's federal executive opting not to go this route in response to what the party believes has been a disproportionate sanction for Whitfield, Zille said that a motion of no confidence in Ramaphosa was not off the table. "If the president shows that he's indistinguishable from the corrupt radical economic transformation faction in his party, well then, there's no point in being in a coalition with him at all. So, we are saying, don't test us because we are prepared to use the nuclear option." For now, the party has chosen to withdraw from the National Dialogue, a move that could see the president's wrath shift to other DA ministers.

DA's failed ultimatum, Nkabane's future likely to feature on ANC NWC meeting's agenda
JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance (DA)'s failed ultimatum and the fate of the higher education minister are likely to make it onto the African National Congress (ANC)'s national working committee (NWC) agenda when it meets on Monday afternoon. This will be the first time the NWC sits since the DA threatened the Government of National Unity (GNU) and then backtracked, announcing it would, instead, not participate in the National Dialogue. There have been a series of rocky patches in the coalition government, with the latest chapter being brought on by President Cyril Ramaphosa's sacking of Andrew Whitfield as the deputy minister of trade and industry.

Senior members of the ANC are likely to affirm Ramaphosa's decision, which has largely been questioned due to the timing of his firing of Whitfield. EWN understands that the president acted with political expediency in mind, with growing pressure in some pockets of the ANC that remain opposed to the GNU. Meanwhile, the fate of Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane is likely to also come under discussion, this as some in and out of the party call for her head.

The minister stands accused of lying to Parliament about her independent panel and the SETA board appointments.
