Why did the People of Western Cape rejected Richard Dyantyi?

Reasons for the rejection of Richard Dyantyi in Western Cape

Richard Dyantyi, a senior ANC MP, failed to secure enough candidates to run for the leader of the Western Cape at the party’s state conference in Cape Town [1]. Despite accepting the nomination, he fell short of meeting the required standards on the day of the conference [2].

Dyantyi is currently chairing a Section 194 parliamentary inquiry into the eligibility for office of suspended public guardian Bushisiwe Mhuwebane [3]. However, his failure to secure the candidacy for the party’s leadership in the Western Cape suggests that he may have lost the support of the party’s members in the region.

In contrast, Lermo Caraco, Buizo “JJ” Tijalisus, and Cameron Dagmore were able to secure enough candidates for the presidency [4]. The certification for their candidacy went smoothly and was received within 30 minutes [5]. However, the conference was delayed due to accommodation problems [4]. The success of these candidates suggests that they may have more support from the party’s members in the Western Cape than Dyantyi.

Dyantyi’s alleged involvement in soliciting bribes from the Public Protector has also raised concerns about his suitability for party leadership [6]. The EFF has called for him to remove himself from the position [6]. Additionally, Chief Whip Pemmy Majodina has been accused of trying to solicit a bribe from Mkhwebane, which raises questions about the integrity of the party’s leadership [7].

These allegations may have contributed to Dyantyi’s failure to secure the candidacy for the party’s leadership in the Western Cape [8]. The ANC has expressed its support for the lawmakers concerned, but the allegations may have damaged the party’s reputation and eroded support for Dyantyi in the region.
