ANC presidential hopeful Dr Zweli Mkhize has called on leaders to emulate the selflessness of former president of the ANC Oliver Tambo by ending the aloofness some have with the masses.
ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini said they had thrown their full weight behind Mkhize’s ambitions. She said in the build-up to the conference, they were facing a war which pitted imperialism against the revolutionaries — and warned that if the latter were to be defeated, this would see further oppression by white minorities.
In a veiled swipe to the current ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa, Dlamini told Mkhize that his mandate to lead the people of the country should come from ANC structures and not from the white minority. Dlamini said if Mkhize were to disband the ANCWL, he would be disbanding the party's best mobilisation machinery. “We would be relentless in being unequivocal in raising matters pertaining women, but that would not mean we do not want you,” she said.
