“If the ANC is consistent in the application of its own resolutions, it must add Mabuza to its list of members who should step aside while they’re under investigation for corruption," said Cachalia.
Cachalia is still reeling at the fact that the country has been facing power cuts and serious cases of load shedding according to News24. According to the MP, Cachalia, the "fat cats" in the ANC have felt no shame in weakening Eskom for their own personal gain.
