Would you resign is you were in Cyril Ramaphosa’s shoes?
With Independent Political Analyst, Khaya Sithole of the belief that the sun is not setting on “the new dawn” of the ANC, because there was never a new dawn to begin with, it was always a false dawn.
“In 2017, the ANC elected President of the ruling party, and sold us the idea that there was a new dawn, and the ANC was basically reborn.
We were told the party was going to do things differently during his tenure but the problem was that the new figurehead inherited much of the old architecture of the ANC.
So the ANC architecture remained the same, the factionalism within the ANC remained the same, and their ability or lack of ability rather to govern people was still the same, so there was never a new dawn.”
