The ANC has long regarded itself as more than a pedestrian political party. In its own conception, it is the embodiment of “the people” . In a 1999 article in its journal Umrabulo, it declared itself “the most important moral voice … on almost any question facing the country”. The president said, “If we are to make this a new and better era, we as leaders must put aside our differences and work together in a spirit of partnership, of co-operation, of collaboration and common purpose in the interests of the people of SA.”
