OPINION | Everyone within the ANC is jostling for their positions and power, and it seems the only way to do it is through factions, writes OHeerden.
The ANC has desperately been trying to actively move away from factional politics since 2007, and yet, fails at every turn, writes the author.Everyone within the ANC is jostling for their positions and power, and it seems the only way to do it is through factions, writesTurbulent changes do not affect reality on a deeper level other than to cement the status quo. This is what Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr meant when he expressed this profound statement in 1849.
Everyone is jostling for their positions and power, and it seems the only way to do it is through factions. So, at this rate, both the largest and second-largest provinces have now been irritated by the CR22 camp. Great going, guys. Not to mention poor Paul Mashatile who was hopeful for deputy president. He is also out according to the alleged CR22 list and with it, possibly ample support from Gauteng. Are you getting the maths thus far? These formulae suggest that without large numbers of voters from KZN, Limpopo and Gauteng, the CR22 group will not be triumphant come Nasrec 22.
Exciting, wouldn’t you say? These are all individuals that have the pedigree and experiences. They measure extremely low on the corruption scale if at all. They are young and old and satisfy gender parity. I think with such a list the ANC would surprise itself in the 2024 general elections. But, as I stated above, it's not going to happen. It will forever be my dream team and my wish.
