“They attack him as if he's the one who contested Ranko (Ramaphosa) because it is easy for them to attack one of their own. They will never direct such energy on Zweli, and if anything, Mopani will invite him to speak,” said Malema.

Party members in Limpopo were believed to have offered support to Ramaphosa but later reconsidered when he did not intend on supporting Mathabatha for the position of national chairperson, TimesLIVE reported.

“Both Carl and Malema have been chucked out of the ANC, but they are very much emotionally attached to the ANC. Both are bitter.”
