Last week, the ANC’s national working committee (NWC) gave the first indication that it was possible the party’s top leadership would formally disband the leadership structures of the ANC Women’s League. There is still no formally elected leadership for the ANC Youth League, while the MKMVA has been formally disbanded. At the same time, eight of the party’s nine provinces still have to hold conferences and elect leadership this year. Many would call it a mess.
It certainly appears there is a very real weakness within many, perhaps all, of the ANC’s structures, and that unless there is some kind of radical action this weakness will simply perpetuate itself, making the party’s organisation shakier than ever before a national elective conference.
Meanwhile, the ANC Youth League last had an elected leadership in 2018. That leadership was disbanded in the aftermath of the 2017 Nasrec Conference. It is also surely significant that even if they do hold elective conferences, both leagues will have failed to be political forces during this term of the ANC’s national leadership.
