Campaign Team will intensify efforts to get more structures of the ANC to nominate Lindiwe Sisulu to become President as her election will represent a turning point in the process of rebuilding and renewing the ANC through engendering unity and cohesion whilst discouraging factional/slates politics.
“Cde Lindiwe Sisulu will continue to cross-cross our country talking to ANC members as part of efforts to spread the message of genuine change in the ANC that includes election of capable and dedicated leaders who are committed to fight against corruption, nepotism and factionalism, Mogodiri said.
“For the ANC to restore its good public standing, it also needs to elect leaders that are above reproach and have traction not only with ANC members but also with the rest of society if it is to continue leading the project of socio-economic transformation”, Mogodiri concluded
