Panyaza Lesufi, ANC Gauteng co-convenor, warns party members to stop fighting for control of a "sinking ship" and work together to save the ANC.
(The Post News)- Panyaza Lesufi, ANC Gauteng co-convenor, has warned Johannesburg’s warring party factions to stop fighting for control of a “sinking ship” and work together to save the party. Lesufi emphasized that the party’s internal conflicts are causing it to decline rapidly, and if they don’t work together, the party will be left with nothing.
The ANC is facing serious challenges, and Lesufi’s warning comes as the was party preparing to elect new regional leadership in Johannesburg. The current chair, Mayor Dada Morero, is defeated through ballots by Loyiso Masuku.
Lesufi’s statement is a clear indication that the party is at a critical juncture. The ANC’s decline has been attributed to various factors, including corruption, poor governance, and infighting. The party’s inability to address these issues has led to a loss of public trust and support.
ANC’s Internal Conflict
The ANC’s internal conflicts have also led to a brain drain, with many talented members leaving the party to join other political organizations. This has weakened the party’s ability to effectively govern and address the country’s pressing challenges.
Lesufi’s call for unity is a recognition that the party’s survival depends on its ability to work together and address its internal problems. The ANC has been in power for decades, but its support has been declining steadily, and it faces a significant challenge in the upcoming elections.
The party’s leadership has been criticized for its handling of corruption and other issues, and there are calls for greater accountability and transparency. Lesufi’s statement suggests that the party is aware of these concerns and is willing to take action to address them.
However, it remains to be seen whether the ANC Joburg can overcome its internal conflicts and work together to save the party. The party’s history of infighting and factionalism suggests that this will be a difficult task.
The ANC’s decline has significant implications for South Africa’s future. The party has been a key player in the country’s politics since the end of apartheid, and its decline could lead to a shift in the country’s political landscape.
The party’s ability to address its internal problems and work together will be crucial in determining its future. If the ANC can overcome its differences and work towards a common goal, it may be able to regain its position as a dominant force in South African politics.
Ultimately, the ANC’s fate will depend on its ability to put the interests of the party and the country above individual ambitions and interests.
