The Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, says that he is tired of Carl Niehaus’ shenanigans as Niehaus is attacking the ANC and its President, Cyril Ramaphosa, everyday and he is employed at Luthuli House in the Secretary General’s office. He says that he is specifically being targeted because he supports Ramaphosa as the ANC president.
