CARTOON: ANC’s policy blind spot

ANC holds talks on five key areas — unemployment, the need for a state bank, land expropriation, energy security and the Bank’s mandate

The ANC is feeling the threat of soon losing elections unless it confronts the issue head on, home affairs minister says

President says perceptions that the step-aside rule is being applied inconsistently must be addressed

The elites are recognising there is no way the party can restore itself and that we would be better off if true disaster struck

The party says the target should ideally be the top 5% of high-net-worth individuals, and estates with significant assets

The president has urged delegates to the party's policy conference to come up with solutions to create jobs, end corruption and serve the people
