The ANC secretary-general says that if the president or his office degenerate, it will weaken the ANC

“We must protect Ramaphosa and the office occupied by Ramaphosa in the same way because if that office degenerates, the ANC is going to be weaker,” said Mantashe.“The responsibility of secretary-general is not to take a particular stance saying the president is rubbish if he is embroiled in controversy.

Mantashe was referring to a decision to support former president Jacob Zuma when he was embroiled in the Nkandla scandal. “Leadership is not a leader, it is a pyramid of people who are in the structures of the ANC at branch level, regional, provincial and national executive levels, the national working committee and the top seven.”

“When spheres of government are dysfunctional, there is no government. One of the biggest disjunctures and rubbish I observed in the Free State is the demarcation. You have demarcated the province so much that it cannot even function.”
