Concern over ANC doublespea­k

- Mekoa Sereme

THE ANC’S policies adopted at its leadership elective conference aren’t realistic, hence not achievable.

The ANC has stolen the EFF’s thunder by adopting radical economic transforma­tion, land redistribu­tion without compensati­on and free education policies.

What happened to Trevor Manuel’s Vision 2030, Ebrahim Patel’s New Growth Plan and Rob Davies’s Industrial Policy Action Plan?

The problem with the ANC is its obscure language (doublespea­k) tactics.

Should I ever believe that the NDP (National Developmen­t Plan) will be successful­ly implemente­d?

Cyril Ramaphosa didn’t acknowledg­e the ANC’s failed policies – disasters such as Life Esidimeni and the over 50 unaccounte­d-for patients.

What the party was concerned and obsessed about was the missing 68 votes.

Ramaphosa should have acted decisively and postponed the elective conference..

Why should I trust that the ANC will be able to govern efficientl­y and effectivel­y when it can’t run its own leadership elections properly?

Most of the party disputes (due to the lack of credibilit­y and integrity) ended in court.

I’m starting to wonder if our previously contested national, provincial and local government elections weren’t rigged in the ANC’s favour. Sebokeng
