As final preparations are underway ahead of the 109th anniversary of the African National Congress, the Presidential address will be made virtually as part of the COVID-19 response.

This year’s speech has been seen as an opportunity to address the factional battles that have become apparent in the public discourse: (1) the fate of the Secretary-General (Ace Magashule), (2) the tensions between Cyril Ramaphosa and Jacob Zuma, (3) clashes on the implementation of ANC resolutions and (4) the corruption cases stacking up against many of its leaders who are public servants.

Guest: Dr Snuki Zikalala - President | ANC Veterans League
