Mamabolo has been battling the IEC over the registration of a political pay called Mandela For President, which faced opposition from both the ANC and the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

“We did not register any party called Mamabolo National Congress, it’s an NPC which won't even contest elections. Itisan NPC that will be in support of the Mandela For President party once IEC confirms registration,’ he said.

According to Mamabolo, he is spearheading the building of a tripartite alliance which will be announced soon.

“The Mamabolo National Congress will mobilise all the ‘Kolobe clans’ and all people who are bearing the Mamabolo surname to support our political party,” he added.
