African National Congress (ANC) Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has taken a swipe at former Police Minister Nathi Nhleko following his resignation from the ruling party.

Nhleko tendered his seven-page resignation letter on Monday, 4 March and cited Mbalula’s recent admission about Nkandla upgrades as one of the reasons.

“I See Nathi Nhleko strutting like a peacock calling his shameful report on Nkandla a ” research.” no shame at all this guy was reprimanded for that report by the highest court in the landed. That report was set aside by the Constitutional Court in the famous judgement delivered by Judge Mogoeng Mogoeng, indeed our revolution did produce villains,” Mbalula wrote on X.
