The battle for the soul of the ANC continues, as divisions in the party continue to widen ahead of its elective conference: ANCNEC ANCconference ANCelectiveconference
President of the African National Congress Cyril Ramaphosa might have survived a grueling National Executive Committee meeting in Nasrec over the weekend, but this does not mean the battle for the soul of the governing party is over.
“Another thing is if Ramaphosa loses the leadership race, the divisions in the ANC will be even worse and this is bad for the ANC ahead of the 2024 general election,” said Duvenhage.Duvenhage says there appears to be a new alliance forming against Ramaphosa which comprises leaders such as Paul Mashatile, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Supra Mahumapelo and Lindiwe Sisulu.
Mashatile’s name has been touted as a possible succeeder to current ANC deputy president David Mabuza after the elective conference.Duvenhage is of the view the ANC needs to deviate from its old ideologies, stressing that it will be almost impossible for the party to successfully renew itself. “He might have survived the onslaught during the party’s NEC meeting over the weekend but it is not over yet because there is still the independent parliamentary report into this scandal which is expected this week,” said Breakfast.
