Government and Party Updates from Fikile Mbalula

Fikile Mbalula serves as Secretary-General of the ANC and remains central to its strategic communication and internal discipline in 2025. Recently he threatened forensic investigations into leaked party documents, consolidating power ahead of ANC’s 2027 leadership conference. Mbalula spoke at the ANC Women’s League conference in Nasrec, emphasizing unity and support for women's rights. He has been active in national budget discussions and flagged coalition deals, asserting in June 2024 that ANC won’t “beg” for EFF support.

Over his career, Mbalula has served as Minister of Sports, Police, Transport, and now Secretary-General. He commands a robust social media following of over 800,000 on X, regularly engaging on policy and accountability. He is rumored to be eyeing future ANC leadership, though the party remains divided on that possibility.
