POLITRICKING WITH TSHIDI MADIA: Ronald Lamola weighs in on Phala Phala saga, his ANC deputy president ambition and the step-aside resolution.
These are the words of the Justice Minister and the African National Congress national executive committee member Ronald Lamola - who firmly cemented his position on the importance of the party’s contentious “step-aside” resolution.
Provinces like KwaZulu-Natal want it completely done away with, while Limpopo is on the fence, saying it didn’t mind if the resolution was completely scrapped but that it rejected the resolution in its current form.
“What should be happening is to ensure it is strengthened, it is made in a manner that it’s predictable, but it is also applied in a fair, transparent and a manner that it does not look selective,” said Lamola on the resolution. The former youth league leader also deals with criticism from some in and out of the ANC for being too ambitious and premature in his bid to become deputy president of the former liberation movement. He said there are multiple generations in the governing party, and each one must play its role.
