ANC Youth League (ANCYL) leader Collen Malatji is confident that the party will bounce back stronger in the next national elections. Despite losing its majority after 30 years of governance, the ANC only attained 40.18% of the vote in the recent elections.
In a recent interview, Malatji expressed his belief that the ANC’s poor performance in the polls this year is not the end, stating that the party will come back stronger in the 2029 national elections.
Malatji emphasized the ANCYL’s support for the party’s decision to negotiate for a government of national unity (GNU) instead of entering into coalition partnerships, as he believes it will enhance unity.
He further stated, “The ANC has invited every South African who believes in building this country, who believes we must resolve all social economic problems, to come forward and join hands with the ANC in the government of national unity to try to bring everyone together.”
