Baba #AndrewMlangeni once told us about the state of mess the ANC was in its first 40 years of its existence.
It was a party of vibes, sycophancy & deputations!
It is no surprise that the economics ANC understands is that of feeding itself. #RIPAndrewMlangeni#RIPBabaMlangeni pic.twitter.com/zNbJ3gxeLF— Concourt failed Makate???? (@Spiwo) July 22, 2020

Well one thing I appreciate about the late #andrewmlangeni is his outspoken about the ANC’S corruption and lost integrity of the party and his vocal words towards Zuma being a Guptas puppet

@TheRealClementM If indeed @MYANC value the work of the late struggle stelwart as they claim then this Intergrity Committee will be given the real teeth to bite and be renamed after Andrew Mlangeni. The Mlangeni Committee as he is “Mr Integrity”.

A fright of crying. We’ve lost the last surviving Rivonia trialist. With #AndrewMlangeni‘s death he joins those beyond, on the other side, a living legend, only now without the adjective. What worlds he passed through. What a world he departed? Condolences, then a sharp chill.

Remember baba #AndrewMlangeni‘s advice back in 2018….
“my wife and I agreed at an early age that we will not have sex every night… 3 times a week is sufficient……”
Such a funny and wise man ???

Not even the last plea words of Bab’ Andrew Mlangeni could make sense to the current @MYANC to stop stealing from the poor. Probably they already getting themselves ready to steal in the name of his State burial process. They stole in the name of Dr N Mandela’s burial anyway.
