Mathews Phosa and Ronald Lamola's remarks provocative - ANC

Party calls on both members to refrain from making inflammatory statements that may undermine the political process under way in Mpumalanga

ANC calls for discipline 

ANC considers utterances attributed to its former Treasurer General, Cde Mathew Phosa and former ANCYL Deputy President, Ronald Lamola in a serious light. The comments were made over the weekend during their address at the Joe Slovo lecture in Middleburg, Mpumalanga.

We consider their utterances highly provocative and we raise issue with their conduct as ANC members.

The ANC National Leadership led by the ANC Secretary General, has visited the Mpumalanga province on numerous occasions to meet with the structures of both ANC and SACP. The team of veterans has been appointed to investigate the KwaNyamazane incidents and the root cause of disunity.

ANC calls on both members to refrain from making inflammatory statements that may undermine the political process underway. 

Whatever views comrades have about ANC leadership, this must never erode the discipline expected of ANC members.
