Tony Yengeni remains unfazed by disciplinary charges from the ANC, enjoying a carefree day at the beach.

While the African National Congress (ANC) grapples with a brewing disciplinary storm over his controversial social media posts, former party heavyweight Tony Yengeni appears blissfully unphased, enjoying a sunny day at the beach.

As party officials deliberate over his future within the ANC, Yengeni is living his best life in Clifton, Cape Town, seemingly indifferent to the growing pressure mounting against him.

On Tuesday, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula made headlines by announcing that disciplinary measures would be pursued against Tony Yengeni, the party’s former chief whip.

This announcement came amid rising tensions within the ANC, which had been scrutinizing Yengeni’s social media activity.

Mbalula, addressing a media briefing ahead of the ANC’s 113th birthday celebrations in Cape Town, didn’t mince words when commenting on Yengeni’s behavior.

He called him a “political Casanova” and expressed his concerns about the former politician’s views. According to Mbalula, Yengeni’s opinions, often controversial, seemed to align with the sentiments of a few disgruntled figures who were critical of the ANC’s leadership.

Mbalula took a firm stance, making it clear that Yengeni would face charges. “He will be charged,” Mbalula asserted. “I have informed him through an SMS, and I’ve called him. We will charge him.

We will bring him before the disciplinary processes of the ANC so that he can explain himself in terms of his membership with the ANC.”

However, Yengeni, not showing any signs of concern, continued with his day, posting a video on social media from the picturesque 4th Beach in Clifton, a well-known destination for relaxation and leisure.

In the short clip, Yengeni expressed his delight at the “stunning weather,” captioning the post: “Stunning weather at the 4th beach yesterday.”

It was a carefree display of sunshine and the beach, a stark contrast to the political turmoil surrounding him.

This move by Yengeni has raised eyebrows, especially considering the reason why the ANC is pursuing disciplinary action against him. His social media presence has been a major point of contention for the party.

One of the posts that reportedly ignited the ANC’s ire was a question Yengeni raised about the size of the field designated for the ANC’s upcoming anniversary event.

“What is the capacity of this field?” Yengeni had queried, creating ripples within the ranks of the ANC. His critical take on the logistics of the party’s major event seemed to be the catalyst for the disciplinary discussions that followed.

But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Yengeni’s social media posts have often expressed opinions on matters beyond the party’s internal affairs.

He has been vocal about his criticisms of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s leadership, which has only deepened the rift between him and party leaders.

Yengeni, who has had a colorful and controversial political career, did not stop at merely questioning the ANC’s logistics. His posts have included critiques of Ramaphosa’s governance, something that clearly struck a nerve within the party.

Adding fuel to the fire, Yengeni also found himself embroiled in a political scandal involving former ANC president Jacob Zuma.

Yengeni had represented Zuma before the ANC’s disciplinary committee after the former president publicly endorsed another political party months before the crucial May 29 elections.

This act of support for an opposition party, perceived as a betrayal of the ANC, led to further divisions within the ranks.

His actions did not sit well with the current ANC leadership, and the fallout from this episode further tainted Yengeni’s relationship with the party.

As the ANC grapples with these internal issues, another party member, Obed Bapela, also finds himself in the firing line. Bapela is facing disciplinary measures after he allegedly misrepresented both himself and the ANC during a trip to Morocco.

This incident led to Bapela’s removal from his position on the ANC’s international relations sub-committee, adding another layer of turmoil within the party.

These disciplinary proceedings seem to suggest that the ANC is tightening its grip on party discipline and loyalty, as it seeks to address internal dissent.

Despite the storm brewing within the ANC, Yengeni remains seemingly unaffected. His presence at the beach, sharing videos of his carefree day, presents a striking contrast to the political firestorm swirling around him.

His casual demeanor suggests a man who is unbothered by the imminent consequences of his actions.

Instead of being holed up in a meeting with party leaders or preparing for a disciplinary hearing, Yengeni is basking in the sun, embracing the tranquility of the beach.

It is as if the political fallout from his social media activity and critiques of ANC leadership is of no consequence to him.

This situation raises the question: is Yengeni truly indifferent to the consequences, or is he making a statement about his disregard for the party’s internal squabbles? His nonchalant attitude may suggest that he is ready to confront whatever the ANC throws his way.

After all, Tony Yengeni has long been a controversial figure, known for his unapologetic stance and willingness to speak his mind, even if it costs him within the party ranks.

As the ANC weighs its options and considers the disciplinary process, Yengeni’s actions will likely continue to be scrutinized.

Will he face the full brunt of the party’s disciplinary machinery, or will his beachside retreat become a symbol of defiance against the ANC’s attempts to silence him?

Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: Tony Yengeni’s political journey is far from over, and the sun, it seems, will continue to shine on his carefree days at the beach—at least for now.
