ANC NATIONAL CONFERENCE July 1991

When the ANC was unbanned, it held its first national conference in July 1991 and Nelson Mandela was elected as President unopposed.

[@Goodman_Pilusa]

I was only 6 Months old when this historical conference took place. The 1991 July conference has changed the political landscape of our country the continent at large. Today this glorious movement is led by people who do not champion the struggle of our people. We are new dawn of leaders in the ANC and I'm proud to say as young as we are, we are contesting the space to renew the ANC to its rightful position as liberation movement of Chief Albert Luthuli and others.

[@timmanana8685]

While we were caught in anticipation of political victory frenzy, the enemy had a strategy to dismantle the movement by absorbing many of its leaders into top economic positions to ensure the exclusive systems were maintained and this changed much of their focus into self enrichment with many becoming instant millionaires, and once such happened it was only a matter before the wheels came off. There are many then young leaders who have become too rich to bother about what they once fought for.

[@whawha9016]

@@cliffordsebone3673 What is your actual point? Obviously two-thirds in percentage is anything above 66.6%. ANC missed that mark by 2.9% in the first elections, which is insignificant. If there was a 5% barrier (like in most western democracies) that excludes insiginificant parties from entering the parliament, then ANC would have won a clear two-thirds majority. So they basically decided to give a few parliament seats to insignigicant parties.

People forget that without the SACP the ANC would struggle to win majority. The other issue is the IFP was big in KZN in 1994. Look at how the capital of the province was Ulundi and Martizburg. The highest number of votes won by the ANC was in 2004, after the formation of the DA. What was left of the NNP was swallowed up by the ANC and the DP and NNP for the DA. It's why Tony Leon always had a government job until he left.

[@ndodamakayi5220]

The ANC died with Chris Hani, Oliver Thambo, Walter Sisulu, Goven Mbeki and ultimately Nelson Mandela. The people who were suppose to take the baton failed. Thabo Mbeki made his biggest mistake by suspending Jacob Zuma as the Deputy president. The centralizing of executive decisions as Terror Legkota mentioned became a thorn and division of the glorius movement. While ANC was in leadership crisis under Mbeki, a conference wa ought to be called and resolutions taken by the masses.

The ANC changed when they were all convinced to surrender economic power whilst in prison. This conference was just there to conclude what they agreed to and convince the citizens that everything is alright, they must not have doubts. Unfortunately, time will always reveal the truth. We now understand that the ANC comrades betrayed the struggle against economic emancipation. They benefitted themselves when they were given free shares in white corporations and forgot about the economic hardships that the citizens faced during the Apartheid regime. The ANC is currently gatekeeping against economic transformation. They named it an anti-revolution.
