What we expected to be a very politically hectic weekend for the president ended up with him holding on to power. He was reportedly advised by those on his side to fight rather than step down. Yesterday (Sunday) he was excused from the ANC’s National Working Committee meeting when it was discussing the report. So this morning we though to speak to some of the party’s veterans to hear what they have to say regarding the current state of the party and the president’s

dilemma. Also as the party is heading to its national conference, what are their expectations?

Guest: Omry Makgoale – ANC veteran

Guest: Dr Ongama Mtinka – Political analyst based at the Nelson Mandela University
