ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has cautioned party members not to attend court in ANC regalia to support party leaders implicated in state capture.
Mbalula, who was speaking at the ANC Women's League's (ANCWL) Winnie Madikizela-Mandela volunteer launch in Botshabelo, the Free State, on Sunday, said the party had messed up, and "that is why there is now state capture".
He, however, added the ANC did not bury its head in the sand when allegations of state capture were brought up, and that was why the State Capture Inquiry was established.
