Cold war: I will go sell ice-cream if Mantashe stops damaging ANC - Fransman
Cape Town - The war of words between suspended Western Cape African National Congress chairperson Marius Fransman and party secretary general Gwede Mantashe has taken yet another turn, this time involving a delicious dairy treat.
Fransman wrote a letter in support of embattled Nelson Mandela Bay ANC leader Andile Lungisa on Thursday, defending the newly appointed chairperson against Mantashe's call for him to step down.
The party's leadership has said it goes against the ANC's constitution for Lungisa, a member of the provincial executive committee, to take a leadership role in a regional structure.
Mantashe responded by telling eNCA that Fransman should "go sell ice-cream".
"I will go sell ice-cream IF comrade Gwede Mantashe can stop allowing that brand ANC going down under his custodianship," Fransman wrote on Friday.
