ANC Faces Mounting Pressure Over Finance Minister Amid Economic Woes, But Change Unlikely

ANC Faces Mounting Pressure Over Finance Minister Amid Economic Woes, But Change Unlikely

Growing discontent within the ANC over Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s leadership has reached a tipping point as South Africa’s economic crisis deepens, yet party insiders and analysts suggest his position remains secure—for now.

With inflation soaring, growth stagnating, and rolling blackouts crippling businesses, frustration over Godongwana’s economic stewardship has spilled into ANC corridors. “Investor confidence is eroding, and ordinary South Africans are losing patience,” a senior ANC figure told The Chronicle, speaking anonymously. “But removing him now could do more harm than good.”

Critics point to Godongwana’s handling of key issues—from sluggish structural reforms to perceived missteps in fiscal policy—as exacerbating the country’s financial strain. The energy crisis, driven by Eskom’s instability, has further exposed weaknesses in economic planning, with opposition parties and civil society demanding accountability.

Yet, despite the outcry, President Cyril Ramaphosa appears reluctant to reshuffle his cabinet. “Ramaphosa values Godongwana’s technical expertise, especially in navigating complex reforms,” a presidential insider revealed. “A sudden dismissal could signal panic rather than stability.”

The party finds itself torn between internal cohesion and public pressure. With elections looming, the ANC risks alienating voters if it ignores discontent over the economy. However, analysts argue that ousting Godongwana could deepen factional rifts.

“Replacing him now would be seen as buckling under pressure rather than strategic leadership,” said political analyst Ndaba Mzizi. “The ANC is prioritizing unity over upheaval.”

Some within the party are pushing for a policy review rather than a personnel change. “We need course correction, not a scapegoat,” argued an ANC NEC member.

As the ANC weighs its options, the broader question remains: Can the party afford to maintain the status quo while the economy flounders? For now, Godongwana’s fate hinges on Ramaphosa’s calculus—balancing stability against growing demands for accountability.

One thing is certain: South Africa’s economic recovery, and the ANC’s political future, may depend on whether the party can turn criticism into constructive action—before voters deliver their own verdict at the ballot box.
