Nathi Sithole, a member of the African National Congress in the KwaZulu-Natal province, has publicly accused the party’s national Chairperson, Gwede Mantashe, of misleading ANC members about the credentials of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Sithole’s claims have ignited a debate among party members, shedding light on the perceived transparency of leadership choices and the expectations placed on the ANC.
Taking to social media, Sithole expressed his concerns, stating, “We voted for a fly-by-night businessman who never started any business to lead a political party, and we expect the ANC to thrive.” The statement underscores the growing sentiment within certain factions of the ANC that question the professional background of President Ramaphosa and his suitability for leadership.
Nathi Sithole’s allegations have taken many by surprise, as President Ramaphosa’s business background, including his tenure in various corporate leadership roles and his role in South Africa’s economic development, has been well-documented. However, Sithole’s comments raise questions about the effectiveness of the party’s communication strategies and its ability to quell internal dissent.
Gwede Mantashe, the accused ANC Chairperson, has not yet responded to Sithole’s allegations.
