As the ANC prepares to elect new leaders in December 2027, the opposition to the government of national unity is seen as a proxy for power struggles within the party. However, journalist Qaanitah Hunter argues that these battles will ultimately be insignificant by the time the party convenes.
The dynamics of the power struggles within the ANC are complex, with various factions vying for control and influence. The government of national unity has been a focal point for these tensions, but Hunter suggests that the focus on this issue may shift as the party moves towards its leadership elections.
Despite the current tensions and conflicts, Hunter believes that the internal battles within the ANC will ultimately become less relevant as the party looks to the future. The upcoming leadership elections will likely bring about a new era for the party, with a focus on unity and progress rather than internal discord.
