Motlanthe to ANC structures: Stop jumping the gun on leadership endorsements

Motlanthe asked the party’s acting secretary-general Paul Mashatile to issue a directive requesting all party structures to desist “from making these premature and undemocratic pronouncements of their preferred candidates”.

The guidelines by Motlanthe ahead of the conference make it clear that it should be only after the consolidation of all branch nominations when the provincial structures can make pronouncements. Such pronouncements would be made at the provincial general councils which would have given branches time to make their democratic choices on leadership preferences.

“The announcements by some provincial and regional structures on who they prefer to be nominated at the 55th national conference are noncompliant with the rules and spirit of the ANC constitution which empowers the branches of the ANC to act independently and without fear or favour when electing leaders at various levels of the organisation,” Motlanthe said.

The PECs in these provinces have endorsed president Cyril Ramaphosa’s second term bid while the eThekwini region has rallied behind former health minister Zweli Mkhize.

The ANC has rules? The way they run this country you would swear it's a free for all, anything goes.

Why would they care about the rules or the countries future now?

But then, they do almost everything against the rules...and get away with it.

The EFF are amakwerekwere lovers & VBS looters……

🤧🤧🤧

It's against the rules to campaign to be a leader? Seems like the system was made to make the people already in power to stay in power by oppressing up and coming members

ANC as a whole never adhere to the rules or laws set by the party. * What happened to 'step aside' policy * NPA decline to prosecute Gondongwane....no one is above the law.

One foot in the grave, another on a banana peel
