Many people believe the African National Congress is nearing its collapse, and it appears that some politicians believe it as well. Many ANC politicians have stated repeatedly over the last few months that the party as a whole is likely to come to an end as a result of what is happening. Ace Magashule, the ANC’s suspended secretary-general, has now revealed what might bring the party down before the 2024 elections.
Report
According to Ace Magashule, someone outside in his position would be a very negative option for the ANC. He has claimed that the position is vacant since he has been refused reinstatement. He argues that the next person to occupy that position must be carefully chosen, or factionalism will worsen, and there may not be an ANC to vote for in 2024. Here is a quote from what he said:
“Attempts to deploy a “outsider,” according to Magashule, would lead to factionalism.
He claims that if factionalism continues, the ANC will not exist in 2024 when the country holds provincial and national elections.”
Opinion
The fact that the ANC is still deeply divided due to divisions is fascinating. This appears to be an attempt to reclaim his former status. Why is it that he finally reveals the ANC’s ruin after he has been denied his post for so long? These factions have existed for a long time, and the party will not be immune to them this time. In December, the country will find out what will truly happen. At this time, no one has been named as a candidate for the office of secretary general.
