"We are in NASA to stay and if there is any problem within the coalition, we shall tackle it from within," the lawmaker added. He added: "What will happen if we decamp and we are not again given the positions we want? As one of the senior ANC members, I can assure you we shall sort out our issues without running away."
The senator said the Musalia Mudavadi-led party should elect more leaders so that it can get many leadership positions in parliament."It is important to strengthen our party by electing many leaders so that we can get many elective leadership positions in parliament," he said.
