The 'ostrich' days of the ANC are over - Mashatile
Johannesburg- Those already campaigning to replace President Jacob Zuma as leader of the ANC when he steps down in December must wait for the party to tell them if they meet the criteria, Gauteng ANC Chairperson Paul Mashatile said on Saturday.
He said during his welcome address for the ANC's Umkhonto WeSizwe liberation army, that it was not yet time for potential leaders to be mobilizing members behind their cause.
Several combatants braved the cold snap for a second MK National Council Assembly, where its steering committee would deliver a report following resolutions adopted at the previous gathering.
MK Council's steering committee member General Mbuyiseni Mashoalo said eight provinces managed to make it to the event with only Bheki Cele, from KwaZulu-Natal making it to the assembly.
This resulted in former combatants having to make their own plans to attend the event. Three-hundred members from KZN did not arrive.
