African National Congress (ANC) national chairperson Gwede Mantashe has warned over the ruling party’s potential loss of Gauteng in 2024, with the party’s top figures concerned that the threat of losing the country’s economic hub is real.

Speaking at the Gauteng conference in Benoni, Mantashe said that declining trust in the ANC led to supporters shunning the polls,“Our support has declined dramatically. In all the three metros in Gauteng, we have fallen to below 40%, and it is quite an issue and a challenge we need to focus on. So, if the conference does not focus on that and it focuses on just elections, we must know that we are going to have a problem.

“For as long as the ANC is in power, the failure of the ANC to successfully reform and renew itself as undertaken by president Ramaphosa will render the South African state unable to rid itself of the scourge of state capture and corruption,” he said. Mantashe said without that policy, apartheid officials would still be in charge of the state, adding that the finding is that of a commission and not a court.With national elections scheduled for 2024, the findings have cast the ANC and its popular leader, president Cyril Ramaphosa, in a poor light, said Bloomberg.

Yet Ramaphosa and the ANC, both during Zuma’s rule and after he resigned in February 2018, have done little to tackle corruption within the party’s ranks, Zondo said. He held the party responsible for keeping Zuma in office and therefore for the looting of “billions of rands of taxpayers’ money.”
