Fikile Mbalula on ANC governance going into 2024, Ace Magashule, Putin's visit

--:--
In a wide-ranging conversation with ‘Sunday Times Politics Weekly’, ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula speaks on the ANC, his predecessor Ace Magashule who faces possible expulsion from the party, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mbalula reflected on his tenure as party SG and assessed the ruling party under the leadership of President Cyril Ramaphosa. He said voter frustration gave him the impression support for the ruling party could be as low as 30% ahead of next year's general elections, but says the party has not discussed coalitions.
The episode is hosted by Sunday Times reporter Kgothatso Madisa, and produced by Bulelani Nonyukela.
