ANC leaders 'putting themselves first' - Yengeni
1 December 2016
Cape Town - ANC NEC member Tony Yengeni says the party needs to learn from the example of Cuba to stop comrades "turning on each other" for positions.
"In today's ANC, the leaders put themselves first, and the masses second," he told around 1 000 people at a memorial for late former Cuban leader Fidel Castro in Khayelitsha on Wednesday.
Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane, Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini and ANC Chief Whip Jackson Mthembu were on the stage with him.
Yengeni said the ANC and South Africa could draw lessons from Cuba and Castro. He said the party and the alliance should conduct an analysis on how to solve the "political turmoil" engulfing the party.
