Newly elected ANC Deputy president Paul Mashatile is congradulated by re elected ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa at Nasrec in Johannesburg, 19 December 2022, on the 3rd day of ANC National Conference. Picture: Nigel Sibandamust watch his back, where new party deputy president Paul Mashatile lurks.
It was the largest winning margin in all the contests for top seven positions at the ANC’s 55th national conference. In addition, five of the top seven are Ramaphosa loyalists. The exceptions are first deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane and Mashatile.Yet the Ramaphosa clean sweep is not what it seems. He certainly has the numbers to chop opponents such as Dlamini-Zuma, who voted against him in parliament last week, and Lindiwe Sisulu, who managed not to be in the house at voting time.
For example, Ramaphosa has not shaken off the Phala Phala scandal. ANC national chair Gwede Mantashe and first deputy general secretary Nomvula Mokonyane were both named as Bosasa beneficiaries during the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.
