'I think the deputy president must be a younger and more energetic person who is also considered for succession. I am old.”

Mineral resources and energy minister Gwede Mantashe said he has no ambition to be deputy president of the ANC and the country.Mineral resources and energy minister Gwede Mantashe has dismissed claims about running for deputy president of the ANC and SA, saying he is too old for the job. over the weekend, Mantashe made it known he had no interest in the position.

“Anybody will know I do not want to be the deputy president. I think the deputy president must be a younger and more energetic person who is also considered for succession. I am old,” said Mantashe. Candidates running in the ANC’s 2022 presidential race include deputy president David Mabuza, suspended secretary-general Ace Magashule, former health minister Zweli Mkhize, treasurer-general Paul Mashatile, tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu and former treasurer-general Mathews Phosa. In 2017, she contested the position alongside co-operative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, but lost to Ramaphosa. the ANC needed younger leaders in the top six.

He said he would respond to calls for him to contest the position when the party opened the succession debate.

Members of Parliament must be young and energetic too, not old age. Senior citizens will have to concentrate on spending Quality time with family and grandchildren. Take care of their farms and livestock and planting. They are taking youth opportunities of employment.

Not President but Deputy 🤣🤣🤣🚮🚮🚮

The presidency needs people that are not the ANC. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Lomola it is then?

For sure.

Who wants to stand up and be counted for “greedy gwedy” as president? Any delivery for SA in his track record?

Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy too, btw.

Who does he have in mind?Lindiwe Sisulu perhaps?

justicemalala He must start by going to pension first

DD is no longer qualify as per this article. DD go for President. The seat is open for everyone

Even his position need someone energetic like Mr Zwane

justicemalala DPs Also have to attend all those State Funerals overseas 😎

justicemalala Younger, more competent & not corruptible.

I think the ministry of Energy need however a person full of energy not old bloated sangoma

I vote for lamola

He wants to be the president?

Parliament as a whole needs young and energetic people than them

Probably referring to himself

RonaldLamola phakama

Just like the presidents job and the energy cluster you are heading

Think Minister Mantashe is also past his sell by date. He should be enjoying the twilight years of his age with his grandchildren I think.

So Mantashe wants to be the president? Jumping the deputy's position to the top . Well I don't think he will make a good president but rather a deputy maybe for 1 term after 10 years though , just for his good service under PresidentZuma

Imagine fighting for party positions and the party is hammered into irrelevance in 2024.

Sum1 hu is also a tiger in bed.

Snake himself 🐍

So Lamola 😂

ramalokot That person is Ronald Lamola.

Deputy for which president, the league is due to end. Tshwene ga e ipone makopo.

This 1 must go rest in cala

It didn't work out for him 🤭🤭

As much he should go home and look after his grandchildren while chowing his dividends from all his money making schemes

Eh who does he have in mind ? Duduzane ?

'Cyril is rich, he won't steal' ~Samson Mantashe

Any position has that requirement.
