In a statement released shortly after his address, Maimane stated that although people may find it difficult turning their backs on the"party of struggle... that party doesn’t exist any longer".
"The ANC that was formed right here in this little church more than a century ago that spearheaded our struggle for liberation has long since been replaced by a greedy and corrupt gang that is slowly bleeding our country dry." Maimane continued, saying:"Let us remember the ANC and the role they played in our country’s history. Let us preserve sites like this one here at the Wesleyan Church, and let us restore and preserve murals such as these ones on the towers here. Because they are our history, and this is important.
"But that’s all this ANC is now – history. Over the course of their 25 years in office, they have gone from Movement to Monument," he added.
