The step-aside issue has become a proxy fight between those who support Ramaphosa and those who support Zuma.
The ANC national policy conference, which starts today, could lead to a public spat among members of the two factions and there is doubt whether the party can unite on some of its significant policies. Bones of contention include the step-aside rule and nationalisation of the SA Reserve Bank. Various policies which will be adopted at the ANC’s national conference in December are expected to be discussed at the conference, which ends on Sunday.
According to political economy analyst Daniel Silke and fellow analyst Dr Ralph Mathekga, there was nothing sensible in the policy documents issued by the ANC. “I think there continues to be a great degree of internal contestation on the issue of the role of the state and type of economic policy needed,” Silke said. “There is still contestation on the issue of redistribution versus growth-oriented policies.”He said there was likely to be a face-off between the two factions.
