Tensions are escalating within the ANC as the national leadership pushes to dissolve the party’s provincial structures in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Gauteng. The proposal has sparked internal resistance, particularly from senior leaders like Deputy President Paul Mashatile and Minister Nomvula Mokonyane. They argue that the move lacks sufficient consultation and could harm the party’s unity.
This conflict highlights the ongoing struggle for control within the ANC, as the party seeks to strengthen its presence ahead of future elections. The planned reforms have raised concerns over possible disruptions to the ANCβs organizational strength and effectiveness.
As the situation develops, the potential for further division within the ANC grows, with critics warning that the changes could undermine the partyβs ability to effectively govern. The outcome remains uncertain, but the leadership crisis has put the partyβs future stability into question.
