Maimane barking up wrong tree

It would serve Mmusi Maimane, pictured, well to stop wasting our time with all his showboating. He cannot defeat the ANC.

Only the ANC can defeat itself from the inside and turn a wayward ANC with unproductive, destructive policies into a better organisation which will lead to a better economy, a massive increase in employment and social progress. The typical ANC voter does not want to be told to vote against his organisation by an outsider or rebel.

It is a force that must build up and grow momentum from the inside. With detribalisation and better education, the young people will never sustain this old ANC model of politics. They will reform it from the inside, because the ANC is firmly established as the representative African party. They will decrease the influence of the SACP and the labour unions, whose policies are opposed to recovery and progress. They have to.

Maimane probably knows this and is just building his popular, dissenting profile to be in the limelight and himself in a job. If you want to know the future of South Africa, watch the ANC, patiently and carefully. The signs of change will develop from the inside.
