As ANC adjourns its 55th national elective conference, Ramaphosa bemoans corruption as a threat to the movement.
JOHANNESBURG - Newly-elected secretary-general of the African National Congress Fikile Mbalula on Tuesday confirmed a decision had been taken to continue the conference in a hybrid form on 5 January 2023.There were delays in registration, the finalisation of the credentials report and the voting procedure as well as adverse weather."Due to these factors it was not possible formally to adopt the commission’s report and resolutions based on the deliberations of commissions in plenary.
"I can testify to the fact that this conference is going to continue solidifying our unity and cohesion as the ANC," he said.Ramaphosa added that Nasrec 2 united the governing party, "much to the surprise of those who don't wish us well".He said the ANC had "made mistakes and missteps and we have paid for them in many, many ways, but even at the brink, we've been able to pull ourselves back where many people thought we will stumble and fall forever".
Ramaphosa suggested that the government should consider establishing an independent anti-corruption agency to address issues of corruption.
