Pule Mabe joins Sunday Times Politics Weekly to reflect on his tenure as ANC spokesperson, speaks about contesting for a top 6 position, competition, dubious cadres and party electoral decline.
Mabe is running for the position of treasurer-general alongside presidency special adviser Benjamin Chauke, who received 552 nominations, and recently resigned ANC Ekurhuleni councillor Mzwandile Masina, who received 348 nominations. Mabe was in second position with 428 nominations.
Mabe says he is not moved by competition but his own dubious cadres. He does not believe in candidates with no credentials.
“You can buy branches to nominate you but not credentials,” says Mabe when he speak about names on ballots who he believes don’t have organisational “literature”.
Mabe says when the party elects its new leadership next month, comrades must ask if they can trust candidates who cannot be located in the history of the party’s revolution.
He echoes sentiments of other party comrades who say the party will die if there is no change. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
