In Conversation With Goodenough Mashego- political analyst

Loading player...
Former ANC Treasurer-General and Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize has warned the ANC that allowing money to influence leadership contests would further weaken the organisation and erode public trust. Speaking ahead of the party’s next national elective conference, Mkhize argued that leaders elected through financial muscle rather than credibility and ideas would struggle to unite the party or regain voter confidence.
His comments land at a sensitive time for the ANC, which is facing declining electoral support, internal factional battles, and growing criticism over corruption, patronage networks, and internal governance. Concerns about “money politics” have long been linked to slate politics, vote-buying allegations, and access to state resources being used to consolidate power.
