Police Minister and head of the ANC’s subcommittee on Organisation Renewal, Fikile Mbalula, says the committee resolved that the National Executive Committee must manage the relations between the ANC president and the president of the country properly to ensure that there are no tensions.
“The centre of power is the ANC. It is the ANC that takes decisions and gives direction to its deployees in government. The NEC will process this resolution in terms of implementation. It is the ANC that takes decision.”
He added that a commission of inquiry into state capture will be established at the soonest. “The Public Protector recommendation was adopted by the NEC and must be hastily implemented.”
Mbalula added that part of the Constitutional Amendments that have been tabled include the establishment of an integrity commission.
“The establishment and composition, powers and functions of the committee should be providing for in the ANC constitution. It should have original powers and its decisions should be binding. It must report on its work to the NEC and the National Conference.”
The committee also recommended to the ANC Youth League that the maximum age for a member must be lowered to ensure they can relate to the youth. The current cut-off age is 35.
Arts and Culture Minister and chairperson of the ANC subcommittee on Strategy and Tactics, Nathi Mthethwa, announced that they have resolved to formulate and formalise the concept of “monopoly capital”.
“What the ANC should focus on is the content which is monopoly capital and makes a point very clear that whether it’s black, or white, the fact of the matter is that the uncompetitive practices of monopoly capital have to be shunned by the ANC.”
