A fish rots from the head & the ANC's NEC nominees are giving off a stink

Sunday Times Politics Weekly

The much-anticipated ANC national conference takes place next week at Nasrec in Johannesburg. Apart from providing policy direction for the organisation, one of the key tasks of the conference will be to choose a new party leadership. But unfortunately for the party, none of its nominated leaders join the fray without the lingering stink of scandal and accusation.
In today’s episode of the Sunday Times Politics Weekly, we look at key individuals who have been proposed by ANC branches for leadership, who may also end up as the country’s leadership, and unpack some of the controversy and allegations surrounding the top names. Joining our host Mike Siluma, are Associate Professor at the School of Governance at Wits University William Gumede and Sunday Times politics writer Zimasa Matiwane.
