Fikile Mbalula posts a picture of him and his friends having a great time together. From the comments section, people have been recognising everyone in the picture but not him. He was being sidelined and dragged even from a moment in which he was part of it. It shows how they are not happy about him even now that he is the general secretary of the ANC.
It is important when you are a leader, specifically in the public sector, to provide services and do your duty as required and expected. In that way, people will not be against you but rather be happy because you do what is expected of you at work. Almost everyone who is a politician is being dragged for something.
It may not come across as hate, but they are also trying to tell you that you are doing the wrong things and you should fix them. But it can’t be all the times that you are having to fix something very late. You should be able to do something that citizens will be happy about. When he was the minister in the traffic department, he was always updated about potholes.
But he responded in such a way that it seemed like it was not something falling under his department, and that is where his leadership was seen as not as good as it should be. Even though the general secretary of the ANC is aware that he will be dragged on Twitter, he will continue to be part of the community. He had not wanted to leave because they are always dragging him about anything that he is part of.
“If it means soldiers must be deployed, that should happen,” says the ANC as it urges government to do more in the fight against crime. Speaking on the outcomes of an ANC national executive committee (NEC) meeting in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, on Tuesday, secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said the party was concerned about high levels of violent crime.”
“The ANC wants the security cluster to ramp-up efforts in the fight against crime as more lives are lost. We have encouraged that the same approach employed to deal with the [Covid-19] shutdown must be rolled-out in the fight against crime.”
