# Former president Thabo Mbeki has warned that there are anti-revolutionary forces within the ANC, and that factionalism and careerism among members are the biggest threat to the party’s survival. He was speaking at the ANC Veterans League’s Political School in Gqeberha, where declining electoral support, internal factionalism, and the quality of leadership within the party were discussed. Mbeki stated that the party cannot solve South Africa’s challenges unless it renews itself and restores ethical leadership. He adds that change must begin at the branch level.
