An effort to mount a rebellion against President Cyril Ramaphosa at the ANC policy conference has been neutralised. | QaanitahHunter
The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal appears to have conceded that their primary fight will occur at the December elective conference. A planned protest against Ramaphosa led by Carl Niehaus did not attract any support.
The main fight of the conference, repealing the ANC's step-aside policy, appeared to be moot by Sunday. But soon, it became manifest that the muted conference was not conducive for a full-blown political rebellion to be launched. Niehaus stood by his lonesome outside of the Nasrec conference venue with a sign bearing the ANC logo and the words"Ramaphosa must go". As a result, they clung to a fight for the ANC to implement existing controversial policies, which have been long proved unworkable.
There was a fiery debate on the land question, where delegates chastised the ANC leadership for watering its resolution on amending Section 25 of the Constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation.
