ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula has confirmed that the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has resolved to postpone the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, a move that is likely to stir fresh speculation about internal dynamics within the ruling party.
Though Mbalula provided no detailed explanation for the delay, the decision suggests the ANC is recalibrating its internal strategy, possibly in response to ongoing controversies, leadership tensions, or pending political developments. The NEC, the party’s highest decision-making body between conferences, plays a crucial role in shaping direction and resolving high-stakes matters — making its postponement both significant and symbolic.
Observers will now be watching closely to see whether this delay signals deeper strategic shifts or internal discord. For now, the ANC is keeping its cards close — but the stakes remain high.
