Last week, Mbalula tweeted that Magashule, who is on the ANCYL slate as their preferred choice as the party’s next secretary-general, would destroy what's left of the ANC and urged the league to support Gauteng Premier David Makhura for the position.
Maimane says Mbalula will not rule the ANCYL from the grave.
“He had his time as the ANC Youth League president and we never interfered with his leadership. I think we are getting the message clearly from him that he won’t be available to serve the collective.”
He has criticised him for his comments on Magashule.
