ANC Eastern Cape secretary demands retraction from Mbalula over IEC candidate list claims

# ANC Eastern Cape secretary Lulama Ngcukayitobi is threatening legal action against the party’s secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, over claims that he was responsible for the late submission of candidate lists to the Electoral Commission. Ngcukayitobi denies the claims, including that he altered a list approved by the National Executive Committee and has demanded a full retraction. His lawyers have given Mbalula until midday on Tuesday to withdraw the statements or face possible high court action.
