The African National Congress (ANC) has appointed Comrade Pule Mabe as the National Spokesperson of the organisation effective today, 6th February 2018.

Comrade Mabe is serving his second term as a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ANC and has been a member of the ANC NEC Sub-Committee on Communications since 2012.

He is product of the ANC's political preparatory school, the ANC Youth League, and rose through its ranks to serve as Treasurer General in both the 23rd and 24th National Executive Committees.

Mabe is a trained journalist who previously worked for a mainstream print media outlet and holds a BTech in Journalism from the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). He has also completed a two year Executive Development Program with UNISA SBL and currently completing a Masters in Business Leadership.

Comrade Mabe was deployed as a member of Parliament following the General Elections of 2014, a position he resigned from in 2017 to continue pursuing his interest in business through some of the enterprise development innovations he has created.

The African National Congress wishes Comrade Mabe well in his new role and has full confidence in him to execute his new task at the helm of our communication machinery with distinction.
