Lamola demands that Dlamini-Zuma retract allegations of vote-buying 06.08.2026

Minister Ronald Lamola has issued an open letter to ANC veteran Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, demanding she retract allegations that he was involved in vote-buying during the party's 54th national conference in 2017. The allegations stem from a podcast interview where Dlamini-Zuma referenced an audio recording allegedly featuring Lamola discussing money distribution. Lamola firmly denied the claims, stating his voice is well-known and the recording in question is not him. He expressed disappointment, noting he holds Dlamini-Zuma in high esteem but cannot allow her remarks to go unchallenged.
