SOUTH AFRICA: Factional Tensions Within ANC Eyed Ahead Of 2025 Mid-Term Meeting

SOUTH AFRICA
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletGlobalEmerging Market NewsRegion
  • ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula pledged to deal with ill-discipline in the party amid controversies around the behaviour of the ANC's International Relations Sub-Committee member Obed Bapela and Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi. Mbalula accused Lesufi of publicly insinuating that Gauteng is against the Government of National Unity (GNU), which put him at loggerheads with national executives. Separately, the Citizen reported that Mbalula's attempt to discipline Lesufi fell flat due to an intervention by Deputy President Paul Mashatile in his defence, while President Cyril Ramaphosa was also present at the meeting but did not get involved. This comes ahead of the ANC's mid-term National General Council (NGC) meeting next year, which according to the Sunday Times may see candidates for Ramaphosa's successor reveal themselves. It is expected that the two main competing factions will be led by Mbalula and Mashatile.
  • New Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya unveiled her 10-member executive, with the African National Congress (ANC) taking more than half of the seats. Moya's candidacy was proposed by Action SA after the party defected from the then-ruling coalition and joined the ANC in a successful attempt to unseat the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) Cilliers Brink. His ouster has caused tensions between the ANC and DA, two main parties forming the federal government.
  • The South African Revenue Service (SARS) said that South African pension funds paid out ZAR21.4bn since the introduction of the new two-pot pension system on September 1. The new sustem gives pension fund holders access to part of their retirement savings.
