Mbalula says, “You must be leaders of substance. This is not just about compiling lists. It is about the quality of leadership we put before our people. Our process is clear and uncompromising. Candidates must emerge from community consultations, undergo rigorous vetting, and be assessed not by functional loyalties, but by their integrity. their record of service and their ability to deliver.”
