December 10, 2025

THE ANC's 5th National General Council (NGC) opened in Boksburg on Monday, bringing together delegates from across the country to review the party's progress and chart its direction ahead of the next national conference.

- HOPE NTANZI

The Council is being held under the theme, “The Year of Renewal to Make the ANC a More Effective Instrument of the People to Achieve the Vision of the Freedom Charter: The People Shall Govern! The People Shall Share in the Wealth of the Country!”

What is the NGC?

The Council, which runs for several days, is the party's second-highest decision-making body and is seen as a key platform for reflection, renewal, and internal debate.

The party says the Council has been convened to evaluate the implementation of resolutions adopted at its 55th National Conference.

It has described this year's meeting as “a strategic moment for self-reflection, correction, and renewal,” aimed at ensuring that the organisation “remains the revolutionary movement of the people”.
