Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>South Africa\u2019s ruling African National Congress (ANC) senior officials are not happy with ZANU PF over what they consider to be \u201cthreats and blackmail\u201d by Zimbabwe\u2019s ruling party.<\/p>\n

This comes after ZANU PF director of information Tafadzwa Mugwadi threatened to drop a bombshell and expose ANC\u2019s alleged sinister agenda which necessitated its two visits to Harare last year.<\/p>\n

Responding to Mugwadi\u2019s threats, ANC national chairman Gwede Mantashe said he doesn\u2019t \u201clike\u201d ZANU PF\u2019s antics and challenged the former liberation movement to \u201cspill the beans\u201d. Mantashe tweeted:<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t always have a neighbour that is always blackmailing you.<\/p>\n

This relationship with Zimbabwe (Zanu PF) is always filled with threats and blackmail.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like that. If Zanu PF wants to spill the beans on our meeting with them, they must.<\/p>\n

I am eager to hear what they want to spill.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s outspoken Finance minister Tito Mboweni also tweeted, saying he wished President Cyril Ramaphosa gave him permission to deal with \u201cthat turncoat\u201d Tafadzwa Mugwadi. Added Mboweni:<\/p>\n

In fact, ANC chairperson, @GwedeMantashe1 should have said that the relationship is abusive! This must be stopped! It must end!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a statement on Sunday, Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo said the party would take disciplinary action against Mugwadi over his \u201cmischievous and unpatriotic\u201d remarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
