OPINION: Helen Zille has much to learn from the ANC's model of representivity
Think what you may of Helen Zille, one thing is for sure. She is a formidable politician and a political obituary may be a bit premature.
The ANC has never professed that it supports a diversity that will merely happen by chance but has always sought the need to ensure that representativity takes place. Our past has privileged a few over others and therefore mechanisms need to be put in place to ensure that the majority of the citizens of our country are brought into the mainstream of opportunities and empowerment. But inside the organisation, it is a different story.
For example, at the 1994 National Conference he called for racial quotas for the NEC and this was struck down. The top six not being subject to the gender quota. Two NWC members of the ANC are White while two are Coloured. The rest of the body, of twenty-six, are all African.
