Dwindling electoral performance in local government since 2016, has forced the party to review its survival strategy.
The prospects of losing power in future elections have forced the ANC to rethink its survival strategy, including going back to the grassroots to revive its old-style “organs of people’s power” that connected it with communities in the ’90s. Because of the dwindling electoral performance that began in local government in 2016, when it lost three crucial metros, the party is busy reviewing its survival strategy.
Because of the dwindling electoral performance that began in local government in 2016, when it lost three crucial metros, the party is busy reviewing its survival strategy. This was hinted by ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile, who announced the ANC planned to “initiate the formation of street committees in urban areas to deepen democracy and safeguard the personal security of residents”.The street committees were the force behind ANC strength after its unbanning in 1990, working alongside the newly launched party branches.
Previously, only card-carrying ANC members nominated candidates among themselves on behalf of a ward, without community participation. The devolution of democracy to the grassroots appeared to be the new norm in the ANC.
