Andile Lungisa, the former leader of the African National Congress Youth League, openly supports the former president of South Africa and the African National Congress, Jacob Zuma. He is known to be a critic of the current president, Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa. Similarly, Supra Mahomapelo, the former Premier of North West province, also makes no secret of his support for Jacob Zuma.
During the Russia-Africa summit, President Cyril Ramaphosa had a meeting with President Vladimir Putin at Konstantinovsky Palace in St. Petersburg. They discussed the strategic cooperation between South Africa and Russia, particularly in the area of energy. The African National Congress is participating in the 2nd Russia-Africa Summit, and Deputy Secretary General Comrade Nomvula Mokonyane is leading engagements, including a meeting with the Russian Communist Party.
Interestingly, some members of the African National Congress National Executive Committee, who are considered enemies of President Ramaphosa, joined him in Russia. This includes leaders like Former Premier Supra and Andile Lungisa. Comments on the meeting varied. One person praised the unity within the African National Congress but expressed concern about some leaders being influenced by Jacob Zuma, emphasizing the importance of serving the people rather than individual interests.
However, another commenter raised questions about unity with leaders who have faced corruption allegations, like Nomvula Mokonyane. They pointed out the need to address corruption and prioritize the well-being of the people.
The meeting in Russia reflects the complexities within the African National Congress, where different factions and views coexist. Unity is valued, but it also brings challenges in reconciling differing opinions on important matters such as corruption and leadership. As the party continues to engage in strategic cooperation with other countries, it must address internal issues and work towards a united ANC that serves the interests of the people effectively.
