'no Streetfighters In The Gnu': Mbalula Hits Back At Da Over Land Act Disputes

The ANC Secretary-General, Fikile Mbalula, has criticised the DA for opposing the recently signed Land Expropriation Act, accusing the party of dishonesty and a fundamental misunderstanding of the terms of the Government of National Unity GNU agreement.

Speaking after the ANC National Lekgotla on Tuesday, Mbalula highlighted the meetings call for the full implementation of the BELA Act to guarantee equal access to education for all learners.

He also reaffirmed the ANCs unwavering commitment to the National Health Act and the newly enacted Expropriation legislation, stating there would be no reversal, despite objections from the Democratic Alliance DA, its coalition partner in the GNU.

Earlier, DA leader John Steenhuisen declared that the party would not stand by as mere spectators in the GNU.

During a media briefing on Tuesday, Steenhuisen outlined the outcomes of the DAs recent federal council meeting, raising concerns over the ANC and President Cyril Ramaphosa's decision to pass certain bills without consulting the DA.
