Lesufi Praises Gauteng ANC for Resilience Amid Political Challenges

Panyaza Lesufi, chairperson of the ANC in Gauteng, has lauded the party’s branches for their unwavering support, crediting them with keeping the party’s leadership steady despite intense political pressure. Speaking at a provincial ANC conference, Lesufi reflected on the difficult political landscape the party has navigated since its decline in the 2024 elections, which saw the ANC lose its outright majority and enter a Government of National Unity (GNU).

“When some had already written the obituary of the ANC, declaring our movement politically dead, it was the branches of Gauteng that stood firm,” Lesufi said. “You did not let the people who doubted you get you down, and you instead made our leadership stronger. That is the sign of a genuine revolutionary movement.”

Lesufi acknowledged the criticism the ANC in Gauteng has faced—both from opposition parties and internal factions—on issues ranging from governance failures to service delivery shortcomings. However, he struck an optimistic tone, expressing confidence that the party’s path to renewal remains intact.

The Road to Renewal

Lesufi emphasized that the ANC’s grassroots structures have demonstrated resilience and commitment to the movement’s ideals, ensuring the party remains relevant despite its challenges. He reaffirmed that the focus is not merely on retaining power but on delivering tangible change to the people of Gauteng.

“Our path to renewal is difficult, but we are continuing to move ahead,” Lesufi said. “This is not just about keeping the ANC in power; it’s about ensuring that the people of Gauteng see meaningful change.”

A Critical Period for the ANC

Lesufi’s comments come as the ANC in Gauteng braces for upcoming municipal by-elections and internal challenges within the GNU. His leadership will be crucial in unifying the party and restoring public confidence, particularly as opposition parties seek to capitalize on the ANC’s diminished majority.

As the ANC in Gauteng pushes forward, Lesufi’s words reflect a defiant stance against detractors who were quick to predict the party’s decline. Whether this renewed energy can translate into electoral success and improved governance remains to be seen, but for now, the Gauteng ANC is determined to prove that its “death certificate” was signed far too early.


Would you like me to include any direct quotes from opposition parties or elaborate more on the GNU’s internal dynamics?
