Former South African President Thabo Mbeki is set to share his views on the renewal of the African National Congress (ANC) on Sunday. This comes after a workshop held by party members in Gauteng province.
The announcement follows a meeting between the ANC’s national leadership and the provincial team led by Gauteng Chairperson Panyaza Lesufi last week. During this meeting, they discussed the party’s performance in the May 29 polls.
Mbeki’s address is expected to focus on the ANC’s efforts to renew itself as the party prepares for the upcoming local government elections in 2026.
The former president’s insights are likely to be closely watched, given his experience and influence within the party. His views could potentially shape the ANC’s strategy as it seeks to address challenges and strengthen its position ahead of future elections.
This event underscores the ANC’s ongoing efforts to reflect on its performance and chart a path forward in South Africa’s evolving political landscape.
