Stalwart warns party its days are numbered.

- Eric Mthobeli Naki

The future of the ANC is in the hands of young people those who are already voters and those who will become voters in the next few years and it doesn’t look pretty, says party stalwart and its former treasurer-general Mathews Phosa.

The youth specifically GenZ and the arriving Generation Alpha will not tolerate the ongoing corruption and theft of state resources, he said. There are signs that the sun is setting for the ANC, which he stated was likely to drop from the 40% it received in the May 2024 elections to 26% in future polls.

GenZs comprise the demographic cohort born between 1997 and 2012.

They were followed by Generation Alpha, born between 2010 and 2024.
