ANALYSIS | The fightback: Ramaphosa’s enemies within the ANC | lizTandwa

When power is at stake, alliances fluid, tenuous and fickle, it goes without saying that the tectonic plates at the ANC's headquarters are shifting.In the months leading up to the Nasrec elections, the union between Paul Mashatile and DD Mabuza took shape under the guise of the"unity" ticket.

In tems of policy, he had lost to the NDZ faction, whose resolution for the nationalisation of the Reserve Bank and expropriation without compensation were advanced.Fast-forward to 2019, and Ramaphosa is isolated - his last surviving ally Gwede Mantashe is taking a neutral stance, partly driven by his resistance to transferring Eskom to Mantashe's energy department.

Talk has now turned to who will take over the reins from Ramaphosa come 2022, when the ANC elects its new leadership. Another party leader praised Sisulu for developing a workable plan for the Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation.To accommodate all the players, the three party insiders say they will resurrect the call to expand the party's top leadership structure to nine.

"There are many discussions. There are many moving parts. What is certain today may change tomorrow. The big discussion is around comrades Sisulu and Mabuza. There are some of us who say, let Mabuza take the lead with Sisulu as deputy president and Ace as the second DP." The top six of the ANC , Jessie Duarte, Ace Magashule, Gwede Mantashe, Cyril Ramaphosa, David Mabuza and Paul Mashatile.
