African National Congress (ANC) National Chairperson Gwede Mantashe has announced that he will not seek re-election in 2027, signaling the end of his decades-long leadership within South Africa’s ruling party.

During a recent interview, Mantashe stated that he has informed ANC structures of his decision and will not vie for any leadership position at the party’s next national elective conference. He emphasized the importance of leadership renewal and creating space for a new generation to take charge.

“I have made my position clear. I will not be available for any leadership role in the ANC in 2027. It is crucial that we mentor new leaders and allow them to lead without interference,” Mantashe said.

Mantashe, a veteran ANC leader, served as the party’s Secretary-General for ten years before becoming National Chairperson. Over his 20-year tenure in top leadership, he played a pivotal role in shaping the ANC’s internal politics, policy direction, and disciplinary matters. Known for his direct approach and trade union roots, he has been a key figure in navigating factional disputes and party strategy.

His announcement has drawn mixed reactions within the ANC. Some see it as a necessary step toward generational change, while others worry about the leadership gap his departure may leave, especially as the party faces declining electoral support and internal divisions.

Political analysts suggest that Mantashe’s early declaration could help streamline succession planning and reduce potential infighting ahead of the 2027 conference. “By making his intentions known well in advance, Mantashe is promoting a smooth transition, which is uncommon in ANC politics,” noted political analyst Dr. Ntsikelelo Breakfast.

As the ANC prepares for the 2026 national elections and potential coalition negotiations, Mantashe’s exit may bring both challenges and opportunities for the party’s future direction.
