An African National Congress National Executive Committee member, Mmamoloko Kubayi, has criticized party leaders who are disconnected from citizens' daily challenges while pursuing positions of power. She urged the organization to refocus on solving community problems during her address at the ANC's Nelson Mandela Bay regional conference.
Kubayi emphasized that the party must return to its foundational principles, stating that many local communities are unaware of their leaders' roles. Her comments come as the ANC pursues a renewal strategy following its performance in the 2024 national elections.
The conference itself, held after numerous delays caused by internal branch disputes, represents part of the party's effort to rebuild public trust and prepare for its upcoming National General Council.
