JOHANNESBURG – As the ANC prepares for its next national general council (NGC), the party has once again reviewed the crisis point it is at as it struggles to deal with the “sins of ownership.”

Addressing reporters at a briefing where ten discussion papers were released for the NGC, the party’s policy chief Jeff Radebe said that unless the ANC renewed its character, politics and values, it would remain in grave danger.

The NGC is a mid-term review of the ruling party’s policies and programs.

In the documents, the ANC once again details its two main problems.

These are his introverted nature, which has seen him fail to be agents of change in society, and his increasing loss of credibility and loss of confidence as corruption and capture of the state take precedence.

“We have reached a critical point where it challenges the very character of the ANC. An existential crisis, ”said Radebe.

The party also said that it had become so weakened that it was now simply one of the many forces in South African politics, despite being the ruling party at the national level.
