Every TM intervention sets the dialogue and conversation tables alight I would rather have such than listen to these speeches, that are quick to forget with no substance or .\u00a0There is no doubt that the ANCs displacement will result in firstly a disruption and later a rupture, there are already enough fissures of discontent, and they wreak immense havoc on our body politic and have a disruptive effect on our governance abilities, they severely affect service delivery across the country<\/p>\n

The disturbance will most probably bring forth man and woman of destiny who will proffer all manner of solutions mostly ill conceived, on what constitutes the resolution of our national problems the rupture, if we fail to arrest the disruption, will entrench itself more permanently, and it will represent a decisive break with what we have come to know, and understand as the ANC over its 109 years of its existenceThe interregnum the period between the disruption and rupture is more important it is a period of breakups, threats of violence and counter violence, reversals, and possible renewal.\u00a0 period between is used appropriately and as a decisive application of what sets it apart from other formations, the outcome will surely be a renewal or a rebirth.\u00a0I think TM realises and appreciates the period in which we find ourselves, hence his harshest words are reserved for us members of the ANC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are in a make a break situation, and there is no gain in currying the moment or sugar-coating our problems TM is a revolutionary, a theoretician and an ideologue, and we must understand his assertions in that regard the defeat of the ANC is never to be understood as a mere change of governments with the hope that the next electoral cycle might return us to power.\u00a0My take is that the idea is to be understood in a Gramscian concept which denotes pervasive strength, power and dominance of ideas across all of society.\u00a0It means that the movement is a shaper and maker of ideas and, importantly, executioner, its defeat will constitute a reversal of a\u00a0crucial formation in the history and struggle of our peopleThe presence of the ANC in key sectors of society be it civil, working class formations, academics at universities and the student population, is unquestionable its absence is thus or would be asphyxiating the further development of progressive national ideas.\u00a0As an antidote to this, perhaps a critical intervention would be for the ANC to continue to live in our heads and minds. In terms of what it stood for and what it sought to achieve in the future, a coalition of progressive individuals cannot be ruled out like minded cadres who are immersed in the best traditions of the movement.<\/p>\n

A future where the ANC is in opposition benches Nationally with majorities in certain provinces is now an apparent reality that we must plan for, this might happen in the electoral cycle that will start in 2029. Important lessons can be extrapolated from the INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS, an organisation of the same ideological orientation as the ANC.\u00a0Yes, the skies did not fall when the DA took over the western cape. But the WC was a launching pad for the DA to take over the country. The reversal of policy will only be seen once that strategy of the DA takes full effect at the national level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TM therefore, draws an essential line in the future in a way, he forces us to think about what a future without a progressive ANC entrenched amongst the people will mean revolutionaries never pin hopes on short term solutions, but always have an eye on the future and the prospects of success and failure it holds for the country, that is why we are at times dazzled by their formulations and thought processes<\/p>\n

With all due respect, president Thabo Mbeki, this analysis is unnecessarily alarmist. The ANC won’t disappear over night like a bankrupt bank. It is dying a slow painful death that no one seems able to cure<\/p>\n
