This review comes as the party’s image has been marred by rampant allegations of corruption among its leaders and members, loss of credibility due to poor service delivery and an inability to attract young people, risking declining support in the looming local government elections.
According to the discussion document, the two-decade-old guidelines needed to be reviewed because of “the manifest lack of revolutionary morality and disrespect for the movement’s values and, particularly, its character”, which had “led to the loosening of the glue that binds its members, consequently compromising unity and cohesion of the movement”.The document bemoaned the fact that “the ANC has grown in membership, yet the quality of its cadres is fast diminishing”.
It also touched on the role of money in the election of leaders, an issue that had been elevated since President Cyril Ramaphosa’s CR17 campaign, which allegedly used money to win over delegates at the Nasrec conference in 2017. However, it also proposed that the party be realistic in dealing with the issue and finding ways to regulate it, instead of simply banning the involvement of money.
The ANC seems to be engulfed by inaction and paralysis in the face of activities of the forces of reaction and rogue elements within its ranks.According to the document, the reason the ANC had failed to implement the guidelines in Through the Eye of a Needle was that the leadership had failed to act against members who were ill-disciplined.
This document has been there for a very long time but moral dololo. President must put his foot down and take decisive decision about his corrup comraids.
Yah it's high time. It was too good for the current leaders. It should cover and protect the corrupt, or else there will be no cadre left to choose.
Review and do what
Talk is cheap.
