A VIEW OF THE WEEK: The ANC is no longer just a vehicle for looting; it is itself being burgled

The ANC, once a vehicle for larceny and the epitome of corruption, is now the victim of its own internal strife. Factionalism and self-interest have taken hold, leaving the party in disarray. Leaders like Cyril Ramaphosa seem powerless against the forces that seek to destroy the very essence of the ANC. In a shocking display of desperation, the party hosted a ceremonial announcement for its mayoral candidate that could have been replaced by a simple email.

As factional battles rage on, the party is hostage to those who prioritize their own interests over the good of the party. With each passing day, the splinters of discord grow, threatening to shatter the party's existence entirely.
