African National Congress (ANC) Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has publicly condemned Brown Mogotsi, a figure implicated in testimony at the Madlanga Commission.
Mbalula stated that Mogotsi “is a reflection of a bad ANC member” and is implicated in “siphoning money in the name of the ANC.” He added that the party “can’t associate itself with such bad behaviour” and does not pride itself on such individuals.
This statement comes after commission hearings alleged that Mogotsi used his influence to shield controversial businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala from police investigations. The ANC is seeking to distance itself from the scandal.
