Mbalula emphasized that it was their discretion to determine the guest list for the engagement.
“We have nothing against the EFF being invited to BRICS by whoever. We will not interfere anyhow with their invitation.”said Mbalula
Malema had accused the ANC of political jealousy due to his party’s exclusion from the event.
The three-day event, set to take place in Boksburg, will provide an opportunity for political parties to engage ahead of the BRICS summit next month.
Mbalula was briefing the media on the sidelines of the ANC’s national executive committee meeting on Friday. #ANCNEC
