Former ANC youth league leader, former councillor and ANC NEC hopeful Andile Lungisa has warned that the ANC will be out of power should it reject the radical transformation agenda in its renewal.
"The problems in this country are making people move away from the ANC. People are unemployed, they are not working and the ANC is not providing any solution.
Lungisa, who has dropped his name in the hat for the position of ANC treasurer-general, cited landlessness as a key creator of poverty and underdevelopment. Other economic positions he spoke of included the introduction of a state-owned bank, industrialisation of the country's economy and a mandate to the Public Investment Corporation to deinvest in companies whose primary listing is not in South Africa or is not 50+ 1% black owned.
"If the ANC rejects this call, it will be out of power. And it needs every person who thinks, is not an idiot who is not a clown, who is not a mascot in the ANC, to affirm with our generational agenda in order to restore the dignity of South Africans," he said. "If my generation’s programme is not successful, the ANC will be out of power. What will keep the ANC in power is this programme. If they reject this programme, they are rejecting their presence in power," he added.
