Lindiwe Sisulu’s campaign to be elected as ANC president in the 55th national conference next year has begun in earnest
“Comrade Lindiwe has served the movement in government since 1994 with distinction and had served the organisation during the difficult apartheid so she knows both sides of the coin. ANC is not a political party but a liberation movement and a leader of society so comrade Lindiwe fits in this position in all aspects,” Mangena said.
Mangena said he was ashamed when he saw EFF leader Julius Malema honouring the late Winnie Madikizela-Mandela by naming its headquarters after her because such a thing was supposed to have been done by the ANC. In the Eastern Cape which is her home province, she is believed to have charmed Chris Hani, Dr Rubusana, Nelson Mandela Bay, Joe Gqabi, Amathole and Alfred Nzo regions.
Other regions that are said to be behind her or enjoy bigger support are Vhembe in Limpopo, Greater Joburg, Nkomazi sub-region in Mpumalanga as well as eThekwini where the Women’s League is expected to formally pronounce her support but the league’s regional secretary Zama Sokhabase denied that, saying said they have not discussed the issue because it must first be canvassed from the provincial women’s structure.
