Statement on the new ANC leadership: No time for complacency

A statement by Good Governance Africa regarding the election of the African National Congress (ANC) leadership at its 55th National Conference, urging the party to prioritize effective governance to address South Africa's energy crisis, corruption, and political instability.

• The 55th National Conference of the ANC saw the election of President Cyril Ramaphosa and a top seven leadership team, featuring the creation of a second deputy secretary general position to assist with administrative and political challenges, and the election of three women to the executive.
• The ANC leadership faces significant governance challenges, specifically the energy crisis, corruption, and political instability. The resignation of Eskom CEO André de Ruyter is cited as an example of the need for sustained political will to resolve the energy crisis.
• Rapidly eroding electoral support for the ANC has led to unstable coalition governments at the municipal level, creating a possibility that similar coalition arrangements will emerge at the national level following the 2024 elections.
