Masina withdraws and supports Mabe for ANC treasurer-general
It's day two of the ANC's 55th national elective conference. After running eight hours behind schedule on Friday, delegates can expect to work late into the night.
Briefing the media on Saturday morning, outgoing ANC national spokesperson Pule Mabe said:"We'll complete the business of conference. Part of the critical things this conference must do is to elect leadership. We are doing everything in our power to make sure conference proceeds as planned, it's all hands on deck.""Delegates must understand that we may have to work for much longer.
On state capture, Ramaphosa says:"From the deliberations and resolutions of this conference, we must ensure that we use the work of the state capture commission to consolidate and intensify the efforts against state capture, and ensure that those responsible - wherever they may be located - face the full might of the law. We know that there will be resistance, but this must strengthen our resolve so we can protect and advance the gains of our revolution.
The ANC president called for the rejection of the populist retort that the Constitution was responsible for the slow pace of socio-economic transformation and that instead, there should be a focus on policies that would enable the second phase of radical socio-economic transformation as resolved by the governing party. Ramaphosa says the economic divide, and persistent racist and sexist attitudes and practices have to be confronted with more rigour as it undermines the vision of social cohesion.
“The triple challenge that our people face – poverty, unemployment and inequality –continues to be the biggest stain on their development.”
