ANC SECRETARY-GENERAL FIKILE MBALULA BREAKS SILENCE ON ANC HELICOPTER FLYING OVER EFF RALLY, SAYS THERE WAS NOTHING PROVOCATIVE ABOUT THE INCIDENT
ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has defended the ANC after criticism over a helicopter flying above a stadium where the EFF was holding an event in Thohoyandou last Saturday.
Responding to questions about the incident, Mbalula said there was nothing provocative about the helicopter flight and rejected suggestions that it was intended to disrupt or send a political message to the EFF gathering.
The incident attracted widespread attention on social media, with some claiming the flyover was a deliberate show of political rivalry. Others argued it was being blown out of proportion and should not be viewed as an act of provocation.
Mbalula maintained that the ANC had done nothing wrong and dismissed the criticism surrounding the helicopter’s presence over the area during the EFF event.
The incident has added another chapter to the ongoing political rivalry between the ANC and the EFF, with supporters of both parties continuing to debate what really happened.
Do you agree with Fikile Mbalula that there was nothing provocative about the helicopter flyover, or do you think it sent a political message? 🇿🇦
