African National Congress (ANC) Youth League convener Nonceba Mhlauli has urged the political party to manage its succession debate better.
She warned that should the current party President Cyril Ramaphosa be re-elected he - like his predecessors Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki - might not finish his term in office.She said before whether the incumbent should return to the helm, systems must be put in place to manage the transition.
Asked about the party's upcoming elective conference, Mhlauli she replied saying it was not a simple question to answer.“I am worried that if he does come back, he won’t finish his term. I am worried about his age, he is turning 70 later this year. I am worried about the fact that in between that we are going to have a national election as well.”
“There has been a male and a female who are younger, who have raised their hands. In principle we support both. But if I am to choose between a girl and a boy, it’s a girl for me.”
