When called for a comment, the struggle stalwart said that CEO Xoliswa Nduneni Ngema and her committee would issue public statements regarding the forthcoming event.

In June 2024, Mbuli shared why he stopped supporting the ANC, mentioning that the reason was that the political party still owed him R500K since 2009, when they approached him and asked him to mobilise artists and create a music album in support of athlete Caster Semenya when she won the IAAF Athletics World Championships in Berlin, Germany.

He said:

"I organised several artists, including Rebecca Malope, Don Laka, Ntando, Solly Moholo, and Camagwini, among others, to produce individual tracks. These tracks were then compiled into an album titled The Human Spirit Triumphs.

"For years, I went to Luthuli House to demand my payment, only to return empty-handed each time. I no longer attend any ANC-related events, from the January 8 celebrations to their rallies."
