Anti-Mthembu MPs plot to oust him

The knives are out for ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu, left, as some party MPs plan to try to persuade the ANC national conference to boot him out of his position. MPs Mervyn Dirks and Sibusiso Radebe, who back President Jacob Zuma, told the Sunday Times they would push for Mthembu’s removal at the Nasrec gathering. “I will raise it. We want to ensure that people like Jackson get removed from [leadership] positions,” said Dirks
