RET's Carl Niehaus Says Calls for Ramaphosa Second Term Amount to ’Ill-Discipline’

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Fired ANC staffer and suspended MKVA Spox, Carl Niehaus (RET Affiliated) claims calls for President Cyril Ramaphosa to serve a second term as party leader amount to “ill-discipline”.
  • Niehaus was responding to ANC Limpopo provincial chairperson and premier Stan Mathabatha, who publicly backed Ramaphosa to secure a second term.
  • ”They are trying to blackmail anyone with different views into accepting that it is either an unopposed Ramaphosa or the ANC will be destroyed,” Niehaus said.
  • ”The continuation of Ramaphosa as president is certainly not the way to save the ANC, it is the most certain way to destroy the ANC. Ramaphosa is the most disastrous president that the ANC has had in the 110 years of our existence,”
  • Niehaus cited what he called the “terrible results” of last year’s local government elections, which saw the ANC reduce its support to a mere 46.4% of the vote. as confirmation of his assessment.
  • Niehaus said a new ANC president must be democratically elected through its internal organisational processes which must be free from bribes and vote buying, adding that Ramaphosa will be challenged and must be replaced as ANC president.
  • ”Anything else is an utter nightmare for the continuing survival of the ANC as a liberation movement, and a fate too ghastly to contemplate,” Niehaus said. - IOL News
