\"\"President Cyril Ramaphosa is fighting for his political career, but some believe the ANC is fighting to reclaim its former glory days.<\/p>\n

Decades of state capture have resulted in a loss of trust in the ruling party, with billions of taxpayer dollars flowing into the coffers of a select few cadres, municipalities collapsing across the country, and health and education in crisis \u2013 all under the ANC’s governance.<\/p>\n

What options does the ANC have for survival when this year’s December elective conference is almost a carbon copy of the one in 2017, with the same role players vying for positions?<\/p>\n

Radio Islam International discussed the future of the African National Congress with political analysts Dr Oscar van Heerden and Nteboheleng Tsehla.<\/p>\n

According to political analyst Dr Oscar van Heerden’s opinion piece, the ANC is like the frog in the boiling pot; it doesn’t realize it’s frying and dying.<\/p>\n

Van Heerden contends that since the beginning of the democratic era, the ANC elective conferences have always been about how the ANC will renew and reimagine itself.<\/p>\n

However, it has failed to put those changes into action.<\/p>\n

He stated that if the ANC begins to implement the changes, proposals, and suggestions discussed at the elective conference, they will save themselves from the impending grave.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he stated that had the RET fraction won in 2017, South Africa would have been in a far worse situation, owing to the nature of the then-leading members of the<\/p>\n

ANC’s malfeasance, corruption, and looting resulted in state capture.<\/p>\n

He stated that the ANC’s deployment strategy is flawed and that they must reconsider to\u00a0avoid deploying incompetent people to serve the people.<\/p>\n

Nteboheleng Tsehla stated that the 2022 elective conference would be the same as the 2017 elective conference in terms of disloyalty and disunity.<\/p>\n
