The ANC at 114: A Reflection on declining interest

Cape Argus

|

January 08, 2026

THE ANC turns 114 on January 8. The January 8 Statement will be delivered by President Cyril Ramaphosa in Rustenburg, North West.

- THABILE MANGE | Johannesburg

The question that is in the mind of many people is: Will Brian Mogotsi be attending the party event?In the past, the nation looked forward to the January 8 Statement. However, that has changed.

Many, including party members, have lost interest in the January 8 Statement. Why? It makes no difference.

Truth be told, the ANC is losing its shine, if not already, and support. In the last general elections, it garnered less than 50% votes, which resulted in the formation of GNU.
