ANC member Chrispin Phiri argues for more demanding threshold criteria for anyone wishing to get elected

Should the ANC pick leaders based on more stringent criteria or open up its ranks to fresh blood and new thinkers?Eusebius on TimesLIVE

, in which ANC member Chrispin Phiri articulated his critique of his party’s suboptimal internal electoral processes. The first part of the discussion reflected on the history of the party that has led to an opaque and insufficiently democratic set of practices. Phiri argues that historically the party had some candidates who had the ideal skills for certain leadership positions but that this had the inadvertent effect of reducing internal contestation at times.

He agreed with TimesLIVE contributor and analyst Eusebius McKaiser that one consequence of this substantively anti-democratic culture is that some ANC cadres, not used to the demands of offering reasons for their views and actions, unsurprisingly carry that attitude into the state, and then do not fare well as civil servants when the law demands they offer reasons for how they exercise state power.
