President Jacob Zuma says the African National Congress (ANC) is a vibrant organization that has always been united.
Zuma was engaging with the media on the last day of the ANC’s 5th National Policy Conference in Nasrec this morning.
While Zuma told journalists they are doing a wonderful job by informing the country the ANC is meeting, he says the media doesn’t understand that the party is united.
During the opening of the policy conference last week, Zuma spoke about the need for unity in the organisation.
“You guys don’t understand the contradictions, they are healthy and constructive contradictions. That is what is in the ANC, not dangerous constitutions.”
Zuma says he is happy the ANC met for a week and was able to discuss issues on the agenda affecting the party.
Yesterday Higher Education Minister and SACP General Secretary Blade Nzimande said the biggest problem the ANC had to deal with at the policy conference, is the influence of the Gupta family.
Nzimande said that if the ANC doesn’t deal with the Gupta issue decisively, it would face the prospect of an implosion.
He appeared to be backing ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe’s diagnostic report that specifically mentioned the Gupta leak emails.
“Unless the ANC addresses what was in that diagnostic report, it’s heading for trouble.”
