ANC Will Mediate in Buffalo City

The ANC is to intervene in the strife-torn Buffalo City metro as political infighting among ANC councillors intensifies.

Some party members are gunning for mayor Princess Faku and council speaker Humphrey Maxegwana.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said the infighting was spreading and becoming uncontrollable. He criticised those he said were disrupting council meetings and putting the party into disrepute, and threatened an intervention to fix the problem among ANC members in the metro.

The councillors accused Faku of dividing them into two camps, with one supporting her. They accused Mbalula of failing to resolve the problem, although he had been alerted to the situation, claiming instead he sided with the Faku faction.
