“It Is Time To Remove President Cyril Ramaphosa” ANC NEC Member Mdumiseni Ntuli Hit Out

Reported comments made by National Executive Committee (NEC) member Mdumiseni Ntuli, who allegedly recommended that President Cyril Ramaphosa should be removed from office, have rekindled internal leadership conflicts within the African National Congress (ANC).

The ruling party is reportedly dealing with rising discontent, falling electoral support, and concerns about its leadership trajectory after the 2026 local government elections, when the statements are allegedly made.

The present leadership of the ANC is under intense scrutiny from both party members and political observers who are wondering whether they can revive the party’s power and win back public trust after its poor election result.

Because of his seniority inside the ANC’s NEC, the party’s top decision-making body between national conferences, Ntuli’s alleged position is especially noteworthy. So, the continuing debates on responsibility and the party’s leadership succession might get another angle from his remarks.

The African National Congress (ANC) has been having electoral problems under President Ramaphosa’s watch, and some party members are suggesting that a leadership change might be the answer.

That being said, with the many political interests and divisions within the ANC, any effort to depose him would most certainly set off contentious internal talks.

All of this happens as speculation mounts over the party’s future strategy and succession plans in light of upcoming elections.

Even if Ramaphosa’s backers claim that the party’s problems are systemic, his detractors insist that the top brass should shoulder the blame for the ANC’s dwindling popularity.

It is probable that Ntuli’s remarks would heighten internal debates on whether Ramaphosa should remain party leader or whether a change in political strategy is necessary.

There is no evidence that the ANC has taken a stance on the alleged request from Ntuli.

The focus will be on the party’s NEC and whether its members are willing to back a leadership transition or keep faith in Ramaphosa as long as internal disputes persist.

As the ANC fights to win back the confidence of South African voters, the current scenario has the potential to become yet another big test of unity within the party.
