ANC NEC member Senzo Mchunu is adamant that being part of the government of national unity GNU is not the alpha and omega.
Speaking at the party's recruitment drive campaign called Operation Asiye Ekhaya in Mtshezi in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands on Sunday, Mchunu said the ANC was concerned over the party's dwindling support.
Here in KwaZulu-Natal, the ANC performed dismally in the recent general elections, receiving only 17, he said.
Mchunu said they have decided to launch the Operation Asiye Ekhaya campaign because they want to turn the tide. He said the ANC would still lead the country outside the GNU.
Circumstances forced us to form a GNU, hence one of the reasons we have decided to launch Operation Asiye Ekhaya, where we are recruiting back all our former members who joined other political parties for different reasons, he said.
