The African National Congress (ANC) held a media briefing on Thursday, 2 October 2025, where they touched on matters such as corruption and strengthening the local government.

Secretary General Fikile Mbalula went viral for his remarks during the briefing, where he distanced the party from Brown Mogotsi. According to his IG post, the whole point of the briefing was to "communicate the outcomes of the National Working Committee (NWC) meeting and provide key updates on the impact of the ANC Roll Call on strengthening local government, advancing the fight against corruption, and reaffirming the movement’s commitment to international solidarity."

Robert Marawa trolls Mbalula

During the press briefing, Mbalula touched on Brown Mogotsi and stated that the party would not tolerate people who put it in a negative light.

"We will never associate ourselves with characters like Brown Mogotsi, if he is a member of the ANC, and his activities. He must account for that, and the ANC will stand up to such characters, who pride themselves openly and publicly on the pride of being involved in things that do not raise the name of the ANC in a good light.

"As a party, we cannot have such elements in the organisations running amok, and you can see that there is no fear on his face."

Mbalula then dragged Mogotsi, who is implicated in the Madlanga Commission, for bragging about being an ANC member, but not with pride; he does it "like it's a cheap thing."

Sports personality Robert Marawa weighed in on the press conference held by the ANC and made a joke out of it. In his X post, Marawa commented, "Comedy Central here."
