TSHWANE - Former African National Congress (ANC) deputy president, David Mabuza, says the formation of Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party is not a threat to the governing party.
Recent polls in the lead-up to the elections have predicted the MK Party is likely to eat into ANC’s electoral support.
Speaking on the sidelines of a door-to-door campaign in Tshwane on Sunday afternoon, Mabuza said the ANC had faced bigger obstacles.
“We have been through this journey before. We went through the formation of COPE [Congress of the People], which was very formidable in my take. The EFF [Economic Freedom Fighters] is not really formidable. The MK party is not really formidable in my take."
