Deep Divisions Rock ANC Leadership Ahead of Crucial NEC Meeting
Tensions have reportedly reached a boiling point within the leadership of the African National Congress (ANC) ahead of a critical National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting taking place today.
According to reports, internal disagreements have deepened significantly among senior party officials as they prepare to confront several pressing political challenges.
Among the primary issues fuelling divisions within the party are ongoing difficulties in working alongside the Democratic Alliance (DA) within the Gauteng provincial government.
The party is also grappling with speculation surrounding President Cyril Ramaphosa, amid reports suggesting he is considering stepping down from his position.
In addition, leaders are contending with internal fallout and differing views over the outcomes of the 2026 local government elections.
Today’s NEC gathering is expected to serve as a key platform for the party’s top decision-making body to address these tensions and chart a way forward.
