The ANC’s national working committee (NWC) has told its secretary-general Fikile Mbalula to find a political solution to the impasse between Eastern Cape provincial leaders Oscar Mabuyane and Lulama Ngcukayitobi, which has seen Luthuli House suffering losses in court.
The political battle between the two leaders has been the subject of litigation in which Luthuli House has suffered several losses, including being stopped from convening a provincial conference at the eleventh hour.
