The ANC’s policy conference has 'overwhelmingly” retained the party's controversial step-aside resolution despite efforts by some of its provincial structures to have it scrapped.
But after three days of intense discussion on this matter and other policy issues, those seeking to scrap it were defeated, a move that spelt victory for Ramaphosa and his supporters.
Over 200 ANC leaders have been implicated in the state capture report. The party announced that the affected members will be appearing before the ANC integrity commission for their alleged wrongdoing. “To renew our organisation is quite an urgent mission ... we must fulfil the promise that we made to our people to place their interests first among all things that we do.”The proposals adopted at the policy conference will now be debated at branch level for consideration and adoption at the December national conference.
