NAME CALLING
Mbalula then went as far as calling Magashule umdlwembe meaning ‘a delinquent’.
Magashule was shown the door at Luthuli House in June after failing to apologise for his misconduct. He was also given a chance to explain when he should not be expelled, and he failed to do so.

Former Hawks head Berning Ntlemeza was revealed as the party’s leader in the Eastern Cape. It came as no surprise that Mbalula had no kind words to say.
There is bad blood between Mbalula and Ntlemeza, dating far back to 2017, when Mbalula as Minister of Police and Ntlemeza as the head of the Hawks came at loggerheads, leading to Mbalula firing Ntlemeza.
