Lesufi said if delegates failed “to get the ANC right, we will struggle to get SA right. When you divide the ANC, you divide society.”
Taking a jab at opposition parties, he said: “They may try, they may form new formations, they may merge new formations and they may form coalitions, but the reality is there is only one movement for our people and that movement is the ANC.”“We must ensure those who love and vote for the ANC must continue to love and vote for the ANC, but we must not take advantage of their love for the ANC. We must ensure [that those who doubt the ANC come to love the ANC].
The province was ready to reconvene the conference and conclude all outstanding elements thereof, he added. “We want to urge you as delegates to play your part. To play your part is a small thing, let's respect each other in this conference, advertise the ANC in a manner that will make South Africans proud of us. It’s to ensure we behave in a manner that does not advance divisive conducts, factional interests, a winner-takes-all mentality.”“Within that 19 months there is no time to point fingers at each other, we need a disciplined movement and members who will marshal us to victory in 2024.
“As we start this part of conference, let’s love each other. I want to urge that there are no super members, we are all members of the ANC and we must be treated equally. “For the next two days, I know it’s difficult and painful, but I am pleading with you that there is no longer Panya-Panya or Adiwele in this conference. We have the ANC ... I hope we bury those slogans by the time we leave this conference. Unity will determine our future or it will destroy all of us.”
