Will the office of the ANC's secretary general ever be same after it has been occupied by an incumbent who makes and chases headlines?

Mabote, who compares Mbaks to ex-US president Donald Trump, further probes whether Mbalula does have what it takes to become the party's future president.

He makes reference to a statement Mbalula made recently in which he blames state capture, instead of the ANC or his fellow comrades, for most of the service delivery problems being faced by the country.

Mabote quotes political analyst Prince Mashele, who has a low opinion of Mbalula.

Sowetan political reporter Nomazima Nkosi was in studio to talk about how she and other political journalists have to sift through the noise, metaphors and innuendos to understand Mbaks during media briefings.

The other is: will Mbaks will get along with his deputy secretaries general Nomvula Mokonyane and Maropene Ramokgopa. Time will tell.
