African National Congress Regional
Executive Committee member Andile Lili yesterday said, there was nothing
unusual about Kgalema Motlanthe’s silence on whether he will accept the
nomination for the ANC’s presidency job.
He said Motlanthe's supporters are
heading to Mangaung with the intention of unseating President Jacob Zuma.
The ANC in the Western Cape has backed
Motlanthe to lead the party.
The province's nominations conference buckled
twice because of problems with the verification of branch delegates.
But it is widely expected that Zuma will retain his position thanks to
support from majority of the provinces.
Lili said he
thinks Mothlante is one of those ANC leaders like Oliver Thambo and former
President Madela, who’s attitude towards election to leading the party, was
humble.
“Mothlante was
approached to stand to the position of the Secretary General of the ANC by the
senior leaders of the ANC, he innitially refused but later he accepted; so he
is that kind of person” Lali added.
