With or without step-aside, ANC has mechanisms to deal with the corrupt, says Kgalema Motlanthe - The former president believes that the policy conference must come out with a recommendation giving the integrity committee more teeth
As delegates at the ANC policy conference debate whether the step-aside rule should be repealed or scrapped to make way for leaders whose political ambitions have been affected, former ANC president Kgalema Motlanthe has poured cold water on the endeavours.
The comments, however, are unlikely to deter influential provinces such as KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo from going ahead with the plan, which they have stated publicly on numerous occasions is their goal. Motlanthe added that the leadership of the organisation needed to be decisive when handling disciplinary processes and ensure they were strictly adhered to., regional leaders in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and Limpopo have cried foul over the step-aside rule, which has mostly affected detractors of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
In 2017, supporters of Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma went into the policy conference at Nasrec with a package of resolutions on nationalisation, expropriation of land without compensation and white monopoly capital, which were aimed at weakening Ramaphosa’s chances of ascending to the party’s top job.had previously reported that a late-night meeting between provincial leaders to boost the numbers of those who would call for a repeal of the contentious resolution was held on Friday evening.
