Mufamadi: ANC in State of Political Paralysis

November 18, 2017

 

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 18-11-2017

 

Former African National Congress (ANC) NEC member Sydney Mufamadi says the party is currently in a state of political paralysis characterized by its inability to deal with political problems. 

Mufamadi was speaking on day 2 of the stalwart’s consultative conference at Constitutional Hill in Johannesburg. 

Several of the party’s NEC members were in attendance, including former president Thabo Mbeki.

The conference has received messages of support from civil society including stalwarts Dennis Goldberg and Peter Hain despite the ANC distancing itself from the event.

Mufamadi says members of the ANC are frustrated about the absence of imaginative leadership within the party.

He says the party’s elective conference in December must be seen as an important turning point to focus in reclaiming and reconnecting the ANC to the popular will of the people 

“We are worried that if we go the elective conference in December, without having created a better backdrop in political terms such as we are trying to create here, than that conference is danger indeed of collapsing.”

Mufamadi say the veterans are not endorsing any candidate for party president at the elective conference December, 

“We think that the candidates must do what they are doing. They must sell their vision to the membership of the ANC, and the ANC membership will decide.” 

Mufamadi adds that while the country is proud of its achievements and democratic dispensation, it must ensure there isn’t a defective political tool when it takes on the challenge and tasks of consolidating and deepening democracy in the country.
