Door open for former ANC members: Mbete

Reading Time: < 1 minute

National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete says anyone who has left the ANC is more than welcome to return to the party – including EFF leader Julius Malema.

Mbete was speaking ahead of the party’s elective conference that kicks off on Saturday.

In an exclusive interview with the SABC, Mbete says while the door is open for anyone who wants to return, the ANC cannot tolerate defiant members.

She says: “You can’t be faced with members of your organisation who are consistently defiant, who are consistently not working according to the procedures, structures and the decorum of the party.”

Asked whether Julius Malema would be welcome should he wish to come back, “Oh yes, why not, I would welcome each and every person who has left the ANC,” says Mbete.
