Not Fikile Mbalula boldly saying “Russia is our biggest partner in BRICS”. . I wonder what he says after today’s events.

Recent events in the ANC Western Cape conference have raised questions about the implications of Fikile Mbalula’s statement that Russia is South Africa’s biggest partner in BRICS. Mbalula, the ANC Secretary-General, used his speech to urge the party to reorganize its organization in the Western Cape, where the DA has ruled since 2009 without being challenged by the opposition [1].

Mbalula took a tough stance on issues involving members who do not follow the party line, adding that they will not tolerate unacceptable behavior [1]. However, the first day of the conference was delayed for more than 10 hours due to delegates not having a place to stay because their hotel rooms were occupied by so-called friends of the delegates [2]. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of the ANC’s organization and the ability to challenge the DA in the Western Cape.

Mbalula’s statement about Russia being South Africa’s biggest partner in BRICS may also be called into question due to recent events. Mbalula had previously stated that Russia should still participate in the BRICS summit, whether or not President Vladimir Putin is present [3].

However, Mbalula hinted that South Africa could rescind its invitation to the Russian leader due to recent events [4]. This may indicate a shift in the ANC’s stance towards Russia and its involvement in BRICS.

The recent events in the ANC Western Cape conference may also have implications for the party’s ability to challenge the DA in the province. Mbalula urged the ANC delegates not to continue to let the DA pass and to take action to challenge the party’s mismanagement of power in the Western Cape [5].

However, the delay and lack of momentum in the conference may indicate that the ANC’s organization in the province is not strong enough to effectively challenge the DA [2]. The outcome of the conference and the election of new leaders by the end of Saturday may shed light on the party’s ability to reorganize and challenge the DA in the Western Cape.
