Bathabile Dlamani to challenge Cyril for ANC Presidency after this
Since the advent of democracy, there has been calls to have a woman’s president in South Africa, but those calls have fallen on deaf ears. Nkosazana Dhlamini-Zuma came close in 2017 to be the African National Congress (ANC) president only to lose to the eventual winner President Cyril Ramaphosa.
With the ANC elective conference a set to be held in December 2022, the calls for the woman’s president have began once again. Will Bathabile Dlamini, the ANC’s Woman’s League President challenge Cyril for the ANC presidency?
On Monday, during Women’s Day, Dlamini said that the campaign to have a female president next was on. She said that they’d started a fight to campaign for a female candidate to become the next president.
Dlamini as a leader of the Women’s League would be expected to challenge Cyril for the ANC top job. She has a strong support from the Women’s League.
On Thursday night, President Ramaphosa made changes to his cabinet, which was women such as Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and Lindiwe Sisulu reshuffled. Dlamini was not happy with how Cyril handled this. She said that the Women’s League was not consulted by Cyril with regard to the Cabinet reshuffle.
Dlamini said that she don’t know why it’s so easy to shift women around. She said it’s difficult to fight when the former leader of the Women’s League that is the Speaker of Parliament Thandi Modise is being moved to the position of the Minister of Defence. And another former leader Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula of the ANC Women’s League is pushed to another position.
Dlamini said: “Why should it be the ANC women league’s former president that is moved out of the cabinet. And those are the questions we need to ask. If you look at the whole reconfiguration issue. It’s women that have been shifted around.”
