As the ANC National General Council NGC continues at the Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg, the National Democratic Revolution NDR and its principles have taken center stage in the deliberations aimed at the renewal of the party.
Political Commentator Xolelwa Kashe-Katiya says this focus on the principles the ANC was once accused of abandoning could well be the result of an honest reflection as well as an attempt to fill the vacuum created by the party's initial departure from those principles since 1994.
But she has questioned whether the party has what it takes to reclaim those principles, some of which include political and economic transformation, state-led development, and nation-building, among others.
