The election of Zandile Gumede as the African National Congress eThekwini’s regional chairperson is a sign that some party members are opposed to the step aside rule, according to political analyst Dr Fikile Vilakazi from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Gumede was elected despite having stepped down due to an ongoing corruption investigation. She was elected in her absence on Sunday night.
Vilakazi says he expects the step aside rule to be a strongly debated issue during the party’s upcoming national conference scheduled in December. “It already shows that there [is a] faction that supports those who … [have been affected by the] step aside [rule] including Ace Magashule, Bathabile Dlamini and now Zandile Gumede. The step aside is a ghost and these comrades are [in] leadership of the ANC currently, under the leadership of Cyril Ramaphosa. [They are saying to the leadership] we do not respect you. We are not going to [be] ordered by you, we are not going to be told to step aside,” adds Vilakazi.
Most Politicians will not adopt a culture of living out of their salaries like the rest of us and live on a budget. Unfortunately for the President and those who think stealing by Leaders will stop are in a dreamland 😞 and it's sad reality that thieves are treated as Rock Stars
Indeed the step aside issue was meant to attacked one faction in the Anc, so that come December majority of people don't contest CR period
While they are busy fighting amongst themselves, EFF come on let's take advantage and add our numbers
True that coz it happened in MP manje its KZN

We don’t recognize the analyst.
Your analyst is wrong, the only thing they guilty of is refusing to be part of the charade. Step aside, what is that?
