You actually stay on and give a report and make a reflection on where did things go wrong, did we not campaign well.

So, we are not elected to step aside after elections, we will meet and make a reflection, and that reflection will be informed by how we have fared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">STATE OF READINESS FOR SIYANQOBA RALLY 2024: Media walkabout. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/VoteANC2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#VoteANC2024<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LetsDoMoreTogether?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#LetsDoMoreTogether<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SiyanqobaRally?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#SiyanqobaRally<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3huNjmhVro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/3huNjmhVro<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ANC SECRETARY GENERAL | Fikile Mbalula (@MbalulaFikile) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MbalulaFikile\/status\/1793605017477288132?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Time: 2 minutes African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General Fikile Mbalula has ruled out any possibility of the party\u2019s top officials and their National Executive Committee members stepping down, should the party dip below 50% during next week\u2019s election.
