Former finance minister Tito Mboweni has expressed optimism about the future of the ANC.
Before the local government elections last month, Mboweni predicted the ANC would win all eight metros.
“The ANC will and has to win all the metros and we will win all of them. All cadres to the front,” he said. However, this proved not be the case after the party did not get enough votes to form a majority government in any metro. This led to its candidates losing in Johannesburg, Tshwane, and Ekurhuleni after the EFF, ActionSA and other opposition parties voted for the DA's candidates., ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula said the ruling party's real punishment was voters not turning out to vote.after the conclusion of municipal council sittings, Mbalula also admitted the ruling party failed to convince voters to show up for it at the polls.
