ANC Marks 114 Years in Rustenburg as Leadership Stresses Renewal

Overview

• The week-long programme in Rustenburg features door-to-door outreach, community events and a cake-cutting, with a rally scheduled at Moruleng Stadium on Saturday.
• ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to outline priorities for the year at the rally, using the platform to set political direction.
• Treasurer-general Gwen Ramokgopa said the NEC has reflected on both successes and shortcomings and will share those reflections with the nation.
• Secretary-general Fikile Mbalula framed the moment as a turning point focused on renewal and job creation, saying the president will issue clear marching orders.
• Mbalula warned against internal careerism and power struggles, as the party governs in coalitions after losing its parliamentary majority in 2024 but remaining the largest party with just over 40% of the vote.
