ANC’s ‘radical economic transformation’ faction in KwaZulu-Natal seeks new political home - Cyril Ramaphosa’s re-election as party president could see RET forces in KwaZulu-Natal ditch the party
The view of expelled ANC member Carl Niehaus, that a separate movement needs to be established to “salvage” the ANC’s historical mission, is shared by several party members in KwaZulu-Natal.
“As the RET, we are concerned that the majority of the ANC members in KwaZulu-Natal will vote for opposition parties in 2024 if something is not done to reassure them that the ANC’s historic mission and the party’s resolutions, particularly around economic transformation, would be salvaged.” A staunch supporter of former president Jacob Zuma, Niehaus was part of the RET faction in the ANC wanting Ramaphosa removed at the party’s December national conference.
“As the RET, we have an obligation to provide the people of KwaZulu-Natal with an alternative political home ahead of next year’s national elections. We will definitely be making an announcement before the end of January,” said Shezi.
