It is entirely possible that the NEC meeting ends in stalemate with no real outcome and no decisions taken – and one person going too far could cause the entire house of cards to collapse.
While it is not yet certain what, if anything, has been decided by the ANC’s NEC at this weekend’s meeting, there can be no doubt as to its importance. Both of the main factions in the NEC have spent a lot of time and resources preparing for this moment. It appears that the grouping around Secretary-General Ace Magashule and former president Jacob Zuma is hoping that the campaign they have been running against President Cyril Ramaphosa over the last two years is now finally going to pay off.
This is the culmination of a campaign that may well go back to the appointment of advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane as public protector, as she investigated only the donations to the CR17 campaign. The result was that some of the details of the payments entered the public domain. The fact that no ANC leaders without criminal convictions have made this call in public should not go unnoticed.
It is highly unlikely that the ANC would accept Deputy President David Mabuza as president . He is also not well enough to answer questions by Zoom in Parliament .
