Mabuyane urges ANC members to resolve disputes internally

Eastern Cape ANC Chairperson Oscar Mabuyane has urged party members to resolve internal disputes without resorting to legal action. During a door-to-door campaign in Zwide township in Gqeberha, Mabuyane spoke about the ANC's goal of securing a majority in Nelson Mandela Bay following the Local Government Elections. The metro has been governed by a coalition since the 2016 elections. The party has been embroiled in legal battles due to internal disputes, leading to the cancellation of crucial proceedings.

Mabuyane emphasized that the ANC must prioritize resolving issues within the party rather than seeking resolution through the courts. He expressed frustration with party members who have taken legal action against the party, asserting that these disputes should be addressed internally. Mabuyane highlighted that many individuals involved in these legal battles have not adhered to or respected the party's internal processes.

He further criticized those who claim to be ANC members but behave contrary to the party's principles. Mabuyane stressed that ANC members are well aware of the party's workings and functioning. While the party is open to engaging in negotiations with members who genuinely seek to address their concerns, Mabuyane made it clear that such discussions will only occur with those who genuinely align with ANC values.
