In a recent interview with the African National Congress (ANC) spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri, she emphasised that the reconfiguration in Gauteng was not imposed on any party member. This statement comes amidst the ongoing discussions and debates surrounding the recent changes in the leadership structure in the province.
Bhengu-Motsiri began by acknowledging the concerns and opinions expressed by party members and the public. She emphasised that the reconfiguration process was a collective decision made by the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) and was not intended to undermine any individual or faction within the party.
She explained that the main purpose of the reconfiguration was to strengthen and unite the ANC in Gauteng to better serve the people and meet their needs. The changes made were a strategic move to improve the delivery of services and promote unity within the party.
Bhengu-Motsiri also addressed the speculation that the reconfiguration was a move to exclude certain individuals or groups within the party. She stated that this was not the case at all. The ANC remains committed to inclusivity and diversity, and the reconfiguration was not a means to exclude anyone, but rather to bring everyone together.
She further emphasised that the ANC’s values and principles remain at the core of the reconfiguration process. The party is committed to upholding democracy, non-racialism, non-sexism, and the advancement of the people’s interests.
Bhengu-Motsiri also clarified that the reconfiguration was not a purge of any kind, but rather a necessary step towards building a stronger and more united ANC in Gauteng. The party remains committed to the principles of democratic centralism, where decisions are made collectively and everyone’s voice is heard.
The ANC spokesperson also emphasised that the reconfiguration process was transparent and inclusive, with consultations held with all relevant structures within the party. This was done to ensure that all party members were aware of the changes and had an opportunity to voice their concerns and opinions.
She also highlighted that the ANC’s focus remains on serving the people and addressing their needs. The party is determined to deliver on its promises and ensure that the people of Gauteng receive the best services and opportunities to improve their lives.
Bhengu-Motsiri concluded by urging all party members and the public to support the reconfiguration process and work together towards building a better Gauteng for all. She encouraged a spirit of unity and cooperation among all ANC members, emphasising that the party’s strength lies in its ability to work together towards a common goal.
In conclusion, it is evident that the ANC’s reconfiguration in Gauteng was not imposed on any party member, but rather a strategic decision to unite and strengthen the party. The ANC remains committed to its values and principles and is determined to deliver on its promises to the people. Let us all unite and work together towards a better Gauteng for all.
